DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs computer security experts with BTexact Technologies, UK, Temple and Renault broach not only technical aspects of the Internet's future covered by these 16 contributed chapters but also the pivotal issue of user trust. In the preface, a colleague of theirs contends that concerns about computer security are impeding wider adoption of electronic commerce by businesses and consumers. Given that people remain the weakest link in human-computer interactions, contributors expand upon the theme of trust via an "iTrust" integrated architecture program, public key cryptology infrastructures (for wired and wireless environments), biometrics, and other approaches to information assurance. The last chapter overviews the latest security management standard and its policy, technical, and commercial implications. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
