Free Computer Security: Principles and Practice
The author of this book also wrote the widely used text "Cryptography and Network Security". I like that book well enough, but you have to use outside resources to understand what's going on in that book, and I would say that is even more true for this textbook. That is because the author is basically taking subjects discussed in the Cryptography and Network Security book and adding topics like management issues and security of specific operating systems - without getting specific enough that you could actually solve too many problems. To me the best parts of the book are the appendices. The information on number theory is quite good, as are the suggestions for projects and labs. Unfortunately, this book does not contain sufficient information to perform those projects and labs. The contents make a good starting point for the study of computer security, but if you are an instructor be prepared to use lots of supplemental material or your students are going to be left high and dry. Currently the table of contents is not shown, so I include it next. This book is just under 900 pages long, so its 24 chapters are covering their subject matter in under 40 pages each, which does not give much room for detail.
