Network Securities Essentials: Applications and Standards introduces students to the critical

importance of Internet security in our age of universal electronic connectivity. Amidst viruses,

disciplines, giving students a practical survey of applications and standards. The text places emphasis

on applications widely used for Internet and corporate networks, as well as extensively deployed
