Book Description
As magnetic stripe cards are being replaced by chip cards that offer consumers and businesses greater protection against fraud, a new standard for this technology is being introduced by Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV). This cutting-edge, new book provides you with a comprehensive overview of the EMV chip solution and explains how this technology provides a chip migration path, where interoperability plays a central role in the business model.
The book offers you a better understanding of the security problems associated with magnetic stripe cards, and presents the business case for chip migration. Moreover, it explains the implementation of multi-application selection mechanisms in EMV chip cards and terminals, and shows you how to design a multi-application EMV chip card layout. This first-of-its-kind resource also discusses the organizational and management issues in connection with the EMV chip migration and the use of EMV chip cards in e-commerce and m-commerce transactions. An excellent reference for today's IT/e-commerce professionals and post-graduate student alike, the book helps you fully understand this emerging, complex payment card technology.
Customer Reviews:
Not for Me........2006-02-28
This book is written for technical people. The overall tone is dull and pedantic. The contents will be difficult to follow for those who do not have mathematical or programming background.
Anyone who has an overall understanding of the EMV specifications will have very little use for the material in this book. There is nothing of note with respect to specific card schemes.
Business people can get much of the non-technical information in the book for free from other sources.

Book Description
Since the first edition of this classic reference was published, World Wide Web use has exploded and e-commerce has become a daily part of business and personal life. As Web use has grown, so have the threats to our security and privacy--from credit card fraud to routine invasions of privacy by marketers to web site defacements to attacks that shut down popular web sites. Web Security, Privacy & Commerce goes behind the headlines, examines the major security risks facing us today, and explains how we can minimize them. It describes risks for Windows and Unix, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, and a wide range of current programs and products. In vast detail, the book covers:
- Web technology--The technological underpinnings of the modern Internet and the cryptographic foundations of e-commerce are discussed, along with SSL (the Secure Sockets Layer), the significance of the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and digital identification, including passwords, digital signatures, and biometrics.
- Web privacy and security for users--Learn the real risks to user privacy, including cookies, log files, identity theft, spam, web logs, and web bugs, and the most common risk, users' own willingness to provide e-commerce sites with personal information. Hostile mobile code in plug-ins, ActiveX controls, Java applets, and JavaScript, Flash, and Shockwave programs are also covered.
- Web server security--Administrators and service providers discover how to secure their systems and web services. Topics include CGI, PHP, SSL certificates, law enforcement issues, and more.
- Web content security--Zero in on web publishing issues for content providers, including intellectual property, copyright and trademark issues, P3P and privacy policies, digital payments, client-side digital signatures, code signing, pornography filtering and PICS, and other controls on web content.
Nearly double the size of the first edition, this completely updated volume is destined to be the definitive reference on Web security risks and the techniques and technologies you can use to protect your privacy, your organization, your system, and your network.
Customer Reviews:
Just a big discussion........2005-02-28
I think this is another one of those big books that tries to cover too many topics. It's really just a general discussion about web security, rather than a handbook of any kind. There is a lot of boring history, storytelling, etc.
I do think there were a handful of solid rules-of-thumb and practical wisdom, and I'm glad that I read this book, but it could have been condensed dramatically.
I believe most people who are going to actually deploy some kind of web service would probably get all the same info, plus much more practical detail, by reading books on the particular software they plan to use (e.g. Apache, Sendmail, Unix, etc).
How Much Do You Really Know About Web Security?.......2004-08-20
Ever since the birth of the World Wide Web, we have been inundated with books purporting to have all things "Internet", buying into the hype surrounding the explosion of the web. What these books failed to do was educate people about the lack security and privacy inherent on the Internet, That is why I was wanted to read "Web Security, Privacy and Commerce: 2nd Edition" (734 pages (I do not count an index in the page count), O'Reilly Media, 2002, ISBN 0-596-00045-6). Written by Simon Garfinkel, with Gene Spafford, I read more and more with pleasure and anticipation. This was confirmed with a simple line that has often been lost on the masses: the Internet was built for communication and sharing, not for business and the protection of data at each end of the connection. Unfortunately, the explosive growth of the Web did not allow for this issue to be fully addressed or for reliable tools to be built quickly enough.
Now other reviews I have read on here blast the book for being too generic and not what they expected from O'Reilly. But that is what I find to be a breath of fresh air: a wide-ranging important topic that does not get bogged-down in techno-speak, something which might normally turn readers away from technical books.
From the outset, Garfinkel and Spafford tell you that their goal is to cover the fundamentals of web security and not to be a primer for "computer security, operating systems, or the World Wide Web". Do they succeed in their goal? Absolutely! Starting with web technology, they address security, web architecture, cryptography (what it is and what it isn't), SSL and digital identification. They then move onto privacy and security for users in very simple, direct, tell it like it is style. How many people know what "Joes" are and the fact that anyone could look at their users and find at least one? How often have you read that using a 16 character password is counterproductive and that if chosen correctly, an 8 character password should be more than adequate? When is the last time you had an author break down cookies line by line for you to truly understand them? Have you ever tried to find out what the code inside a worm is and does?
As they weave their story, they then cover Web Server Security and offer a very compelling argument for using a Mac with OS 7, 8 or 9 for a server (I won't give away the reason why here or tell you that Rosebud is a sled). For the programmer, this section offers a street-smart view of coding vulnerabilities and ways to minimize them. In addition, they cover physical security, as well as host security, for servers. Want to really understand SSL and certificates and want to know why Netscape 4 was a bad example of certificate planning? I had never thought about it until reading their discussion of the topic.
They finish up with coverage of security for content providers. What is very, very good here is that they cover privacy policies, filtering, censorship and intellectual property. They help you truly understand what fair use is and what it really means.
The only negative I had was too short a discussion on Social Engineering. However, given the fact that this was published in 2002 and phishing scams had not really taken off raising awareness of the issue, I am giving them a mulligan for this.
The ideal audience for this book is people who need to have a broad understanding without nitty-gritty detail that they will get lost in. How good a reference do I find this book to be? Well for starters, I wished I had it at my side when preparing for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) Exam offered by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). It puts their review materials to shame (have to be honest about that). This book will be part of my permanent library and will be required reading for any information systems auditors doing work for my company. I will also be using this book as a source text for training provided to companies, developers, and administrators.

Good book.......2002-11-10
Good read, but primarily as an introductory primer. General info and comprehensive, with good discussion and resources. But to really get into the nuts and bolts of this subject, you will need to find other books. Somewhat esoteric at times and frustrating.
Great Material.......2002-11-02
Web Security, Privacy and Commerce
by Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford was a gift to me for my birthday when getting ready to pass my "Master Site Designer," test it turned out to be great pre test material which helped me pass my test.
Thanks for a great book I look forward to more by the authors.
In a word, disappointing........2002-05-15
Apart from paid reviewers I can't see anyone with any actual knowledge of security rating this book 5 stars. It is not as clear and concise as it should be, and the technical knowledge is freely available at securityfocus.com and other sites. A better job could have been done with security and privacy policies.
More effort should have been put forth in providing common sense (implementable) solutions or best practices instead of re-hashing material that other books have already done a better job presenting.
I normally enjoy O'reilly books but like the first edition, this book is a disappointment.

Customer Reviews:
The personal Internet security guidebook.......2003-05-07
This book is poorly written and contains very little useful information. It spends far too much time describing trivial differences between various computer & network configurations, and too little time really discussing security. When it comes to discussing security tools (in an appendix), it simply lists all of the available products, with little to no comparisons or recommendations. The average user will get nothing from this book, and is better off spending the money on a firewall or screensaver.
Home router protection.......2003-03-16
I was able to use the advise from this book to setup my home router. I have been watching the logs and it is amazing how many times on any one day that I get attacked. I have a cable modem at my apt. This book was great on the details about how to setup the home router.
Hackers at the door.......2003-01-13
This book was very useful ---- I found that I get attacked every day --- due to logs on my router. I agree with one of the other reviews -- too much Linksys stuff ... but still a great book and provided me with the information I needed to block these constant attacks on my cable modem line.
An appalling mess!.......2002-10-04
This book contains some useful information, simply presented, but it is so poorly written and edited that I kept thinking that it was meant to be a parody, doing for computer books what "Spinal Tap" did for rock documentaries.
The text appears not to have been edited, or even proof-read: In a chapter describing the history of the Internet, Vinton Cerf is sometimes "Cert" and sometimes "Cerf," even on the same page! In one case, the author states "So Cerf (yes dudes, not SERF!) and Kahn developed a new protocol..." and a few paragraphs later, "You see, the original model that Cert and Kahn put together...." (P.11). These quotes also give a good taste of the author's writing style, which might be described as "faux au courant."
Beyond that, the material is very disorganized. Every page seems to be peppered with seemingly random footnotes, often providing trivial information, while many obscure acronyms are never even explained at all.
The book is 200 pages long, much of it taken up with screenshots and diagrams. 40 of those pages are devoted to a list of security-related hardware and software tools with descriptions obviously copied from the vendor's advertising materials, and much of it already out-of-date. The foreword is by the CEO of Linksys. whose products are featured in many screenshots, and who is further flattered with a 2/3 page bio (more than is devoted to all three authors combined on the back cover), leading me to believe that the book is a Linksys commission with some additional support from the other sources mentioned.
The book is a quick read, and it might appeal to the dumb and dumber crowd, but I wouldn't trust it or recommend it for anyone else.
Good Simple Easy to understand.......2001-11-24
I was very impressed with the way the author was able to simplify the discussions around securing your computers, whether it be at home or a laptop on the road. The list of reference websites was amazing and proves that the author took the time to research the book carefully. He did not just give simple instructions for securing the computer. He actually took the time to explain what everything was and why it was important to make the changes. Good book for novices at home and can help fill in the gaps for more knowledgeable people. An excellent resource and reference. I recommend it.

This book addresses every aspect of doing business on the Internet securely. A must read for anyone that uses the Internet to either buy or sell.
Excellent Information, in "easy to understand" detail!.......2001-07-19
This is an excellent book for the skeptic who thinks that "it can't happen to us!" I think many different companies (government and private sector alike) will be amazed at how comparitively little it actually costs to prevent a corporate disaster. Ever wish to go inside the mind of a good hacker and learn how he does it? This is the book for you!
How to safeguard your e-business customers.......2001-07-18
The ubiquitous Internet is a double-edged sword. A major benefit is sharing information; a major detriment is the risk to customers of divulging private information. For e-businesses, therefore, privacy is a showstopper issue. This book was written to promote e-business success by helping organizations evaluate privacy needs, establish a privacy task force, use technologies to provide maximum protection, formulate privacy policies and procedures, implement and test privacy procedures, and monitor and modify privacy protection. This one's a winner--for companies that want to "win" at e-business.

Book Description
The historic European Union Directive on Data Protection will take effect in October 1998. A key provision will prohibit transfer of personal information from Europe to other countries if they lack "adequate" protection of privacy. If enforced as written, the Directive could create enormous obstacles to commerce between Europe and other countries, such as the United States, that do not have comprehensive privacy statutes.
This book provides the first detailed analysis of the sector-by-sector effects of the Directive. It examines such topics as the tension between privacy laws and modern information technologies, issues affecting a wide range of businesses and other organizations, and effects on other prominent sectors with large transborder data flows. The book concludes with detailed policy recommendations on how to avoid a coming trade war with Europe.
Customer Reviews:
For those who loves privacy.......2000-04-29
This is a necessary tool to every person, not only to lawyers, interested to know how the "personal data protection" works in the European Union. You will be surprised with the similarities between the privacy regimes in Europe and the United States, notwithstanding this systems differ in important particulars. The book includes the study of the ways in which restrictive data protection law may clash with free trade agreements signed by the US and the members of the EU, as the World Trade Organization. The book is highly recommended.

A revolutionary approach to digital security as a tool for protecting information assets and building customer loyalty, operational efficiency, and market share
Much has been written lately about the many competitive advantages of using Web technologies to create "transparent" organizations, open to customers, suppliers, and alliance partners. Yet, until now, there have been no comprehensive accounts of the grave security risks those very same advantages can pose.
Written by a coauthor of the bestselling Digital Transformation, Security Transformation brings executives and managers up to speed on E-business security issues and offers tried-and-true methods for protecting precious information assets. More important, with the help of fascinating case studies, the authors describe a proven approach to the strategic use of digital security as a powerful front-office tool for building a company's reputation as well as customer loyalty.

A good managerial overview.......2002-03-31
Security Transformation is an excellent book for a manager, "C" officer or other less technical readers. The authors take care to present the issues of digital security in an easy to read, non-jargon laden manner. And for the jargon that is put in the book, there is a glossary at the end to help keep everyone on the same page. This is the book you hand on to executives who just don't understand why security is important. It looks at the effect technology security has upon the ability to secure business and the ability to not be part of a larger problem, such as a Distributed Denial of Service attack. The warnings are real, but are not played for sensationalism, cooly explaining what threats are out there and what they mean to "you." I don't think I learned much I hadn't known already, but I did find a nice coherent package to introduce others to the risks, with significantly less amounts of techno-jargon or offputting technical details. A quick read and a good overview.
A good managerial overview.......2002-03-31
Security Transformation is an excellent book for a manager, "C" officer or other less technical readers. The authors take care to present the issues of digital security in an easy to read, non-jargon laden manner. And for the jargon that is put in the book, there is a glossary at the end to help keep everyone on the same page. This is the book you hand on to executives who just don't understand why security is important.

Mary Pat McCarthy and Stuart Campbell provide just enough technical information to help you understand the electronic security risks your company faces without falling into a complete course in computer programming and Internet data transmission. The authors' most valuable contribution is their structured plan for evaluating your computer system's security and creating security architecture. We [...] direct those who want a more advanced treatment of computer security issues to the book's two appendices, which review some of the same ground in more detail. This book is an important read for CEOs and an essential resource for anyone responsible for corporate security or risk management.
Snappy, thoughtful and useful.......2001-07-13
When I read the first chapter, I thought I had picked up a Clancy novel by mistake. The first section says "Are you scared yet?" You better believe it. The good news, though, is you can do something about it, and this book helps you make informed decisions about what to do. Definitely worth the price and more.
This is a must read for all security professionals.......2001-07-09
This book is one of the best security book on the market. The authors did an excellent job covering various security topics.
