New York, New York, USA

Spies, secret messages, and military intelligence have fascinated readers for centuries but never more than today, when terrorists threaten America and society depends so heavily on communications. Much of what was known about communications intelligence came first from David Kahn's pathbreaking book, The Codebreakers. Kahn, considered the dean of intelligence historians, is also the author of Hitler’s Spies: German Military Intelligence in World War II and Seizing the Enigma: The Race to Break the German U-Boat Codes, 1939-1943, among other books and articles.

Kahn’s latest book provides insights into the dark realm of intelligence and code that will fascinate cryptologists, intelligence personnel, and the millions interested in military history, espionage, and global affairs. It opens with Kahn telling how he discovered the identity of the man who sold key information about Germany’s Enigma machine during World War II that enabled Polish and then British codebreakers to read secret messages.

Providing an inside look into the efforts to gather and exploit intelligence during the past century, this book presents powerful ideas that can help guide present and future intelligence efforts. Though stories of WWII spying and codebreaking may seem worlds apart from social media security, computer viruses, and Internet surveillance, this book offers timeless lessons that may help today’s leaders avoid making the same mistakes that have helped bring at least one global power to its knees.

Security without Obscurity A Guide to Confidentiality, Authentication, and Integrity J.J. Stapleton Arlington, Texas, USA

“Jeff's extensive practical experience in applying information security and his expertise in cryptographic standards makes this book a must-read for the information security professional. … deserves a place in your reference library.”

—Ralph Spencer Poore, CFE, CISA, CISSP, CHS-III, PCIP, ISSA Distinguished Fellow, ISSA Honor Roll

The traditional view of information security includes three cornerstones: confidentiality, integrity, and availability; however, the author asserts authentication is the third keystone. As the field has become more complex, novices and professionals need a reliable reference that outlines the basics. Rather than focusing on compliance or policies and procedures, this book takes a top-down approach. Providing insight from the author's experience developing dozens of standards, it provides an understanding of how to approach information security from the bedrock principles of confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.

• Presents insight from the author's experience developing dozens of ISO Technical Committee 68 and ANSI-accredited X9 standards • Provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of confidentiality, authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, privacy, and key management • Discusses security algorithms in general and the basics of cryptography while avoiding overly complex explanations

Third Edition Gerard M. Hill Principal, Hill Consulting Group, Woodbridge, Virginia, USA

Expanded and thoroughly revised, this book extends the concepts and considerations of "modern project management" into the realm of project management oversight, control, and support. It recognizes the need for a centralized organizational entity—the project management office (PMO)—to perform in this capacity. It also positions the PMO as a business integrator, whether that role is limited to managing multiple projects as a program, or expanded to serve both project and business management interests in the organization. The PMO model defined in this book helps both project managers and the organization to understand and apply professional practices in project management, and to adapt and integrate business practices into the project management environment.
