Security Engineering -- The Book

‘I'm incredibly impressed that one person could produce such a thorough 
coverage. Moreover, you make the stuff easy and enjoyable to read. I 
find it just as entertaining - and far more useful - than novels (and my 
normal science fiction). When I first got it in the mail, I said to 
myself "I'm never going to read all of that." But once I started reading 
I just kept going and going. Fantastic: well done. Now, let's hope that 
all those in charge of security for information technology will also 
read the book and heed the lessons.’ Don Norman

‘The book that you MUST READ RIGHT NOW is the second edition of Ross 
Anderson's Security Engineering book. Ross did a complete pass on his 
classic tome and somehow made it even better...’ Gary McGraw

‘It's beautiful. This is the best book on the topic there is’
Bruce Schneier

All chapters from the second edition now available free online!

When I wrote the first edition, we put the chapters online free after four 
years and found that this boosted sales of the paper edition. People would find 
a useful chapter online and then buy the book to have it as a reference. Wiley 
and I agreed to do the same with the second edition, and now, four years after 
publication, I am putting all the chapters online for free. Enjoy them – and I 
hope you'll buy the paper version to have as a conveient shelf reference:

Buy from Amazon.com
Buy from Wiley
Buy from Amazon.co.uk (Kindle version)

Here are the errata for the second edition, and here's a page of notes and 
links concerning relevant topics that I've come across since publication.

Supplementary materials: If you're a college professor thinking of using my 
book in class, note that we use my book in three courses at Cambridge:

* the first part in second-year Introduction to Security (course
   material and past exam questions)

* the second in third-year Security (course material and questions), and

* the third part in our second-year Software Engineering (course,
   questions and still more questions).

I hope you find these useful. You're welcome to use and adapt any of my slides 
if you wish under this Creative Commons license. Also, if you're an instructor 
at an accredited institution, you can request an evaluation copy via Wiley's 
website.
