The book definitely the reflects the author's deep intuition about the field of computer security. It's full of insight and useful generalizations.
However, such an abstract discussion is not appropriate for undergraduate level textbook. Especially, if this is the first time the student is exposed to security thinking.
For someone working in the field, the approach means a lot. It provides the often missed theoretical and general outlook.
By Jean Val Jean
This book provides a good overview of the history and implications of computer security. It begins by making everything easy to understand, but quickly falls into a mathematical jumble that had me, and others in my class, confused during the later chapters. My biggest gripe with the book is that it provides very complex mathematical "proofs" of security with no external explanation to those of us who do not understand these complex math concepts.
For example, it will state something like "As you can see by <complex formula here> the security would allow x to access y." No, I don't even know what you just showed me, and there's no explanation given for the symbols or what they might mean. You can't google for a symbol if you don't know what it is called either.
Overall, a useful primer, but very confusing in the later chapters. More explanation in English and less formulas would have been appreciated.
