THE COMPUTER PRIVACY HANDBOOK
A Practical Guide To E-Mail Encryption, Data Protection And PGP
Software
And The Whole Subject Of Privacy In General!
By: Andre Bacard
No other book on the market covers the whole issue of privacy, especially
high tech privacy like this one does. The author starts out with privacy
in general and how to protect it (and these first few chapters are very-very
good). The book then dives right into the subject of computer privacy and
e-mail privacy and explains why everything you e-mail or write on a computer
screen is an open book. You'll then learn about how the federal government
wants to be in a position to monitor all telecommunications. This excellent
book then dives into the subject of data encryption and the computer program
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). Aside from just explaining what PGP is, this
book explains it indpeth in a user's manual type way and shows you where
to get it.
Mitch Kopor, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation called this
book, An Invaluable guide to the whole subject of privacy on the net, the
politics of privacy, and most important, the practical steps one can take
right now. Jim Warren, founder of Infoworld said this about this book, "Ruthlessly
realistic but optimistic book explains the privacy dangers that you face
and what you can do to protect yourself."

READ ARTICLE BY AUTHOR
COMPUTER SECURITY BASICS
By Deborah Russell & G.T. Gangemi Sr.
1st Edition July 1991
464 pages, $35.00
Provides a broad introduction to the many areas of computer security
and a detailed description of
current security standards. This handbook describes complicated concepts
like trusted systems,
encryption, and mandatory access control in simple terms, and contains a
thorough, readable
introduction to the "Orange Book."
There's a lot more consciousness of security today, but not a lot of understanding
of what it means
and how far it should go. No one loves security, but most people---managers,
system
administrators and users alike---are starting to feel that they'd better
accept it, or at least try to
understand it.
For example, most U.S. Government equipment acquisitions now require "Orange
Book" (Trusted
Computer System Evaluation Criteria) certification. A lot of people have
a vague feeling that they
ought to know about the Orange Book, but few make the effort to track it
down and read it.
Computer Security Basics contains a more readable introduction to the Orange
Book---why it
exists, what it contains, and what the different security levels are all
about---than any other book or
government publication.
This handbook describes complicated concepts such as trusted systems, encryption,
and mandatory access control in simple terms. It tells you what you need
to know to understand the basics of computer security, and it will help
you persuade your employees to practice safe computing.
