Noted security expert Matt Curtin's new book, Building Trust: Online Security For Developers, is an indispensable resource for both novice and expert security professionals alike, providing indispensable information regarding all facets of understanding, creating, and maintaining secure Internet systems.
Curtin's instructional approach facilitates a comprehensive understanding of online security through the separation of the core material into three sections: Understanding Security and Privacy, which introduces attack models, general privacy theory and policy, online privacy concepts, and finally a synopsis of the mechanics of threats to privacy. Next is Prevention, which delves deep into secure design principles and deployment environments, closing with several case-studies of major security problems uncovered by the author himself. Finally, The Cure investigates the mechanics of identifying and repairing flawed software design techniques before they are incorporated into the final product. Discussion regarding the failure of Opt-Out systems to protect privacy is also included in this section.
