It covers the details of various protocol structures, the security threats that are addressed by the designs and reviews many of the known weaknesses. Specific topics include security considerations of X.25, Ethernet, Frame Relay, ATM, and TCP/IP.SSL and TLS; VPN protocols; Wireless Security (802.11, Bluetooth, and WiMax) in terms of interception, spoofing, and jamming; authentication (Kerberos, RSA tokens, Radius, challenge/response); advanced public key cryptography; hashing algorithms; advanced encryption standard; encryption vulnerabilities; hashing algorithms such as MDA-5, SHA-1 and others and their limitations (collisions); secure electronic mail; penetration testing/vulnerability assessments; Internet security systems, host security, control and monitoring systems and security architectures. It also covers the emerging topics of data hiding and steganography, ad-hoc network security; vulnerabilities of intrusion detection systems (both physical and cyberdefense); network survivability. |
