Security professionals have been highly sought after employees recently. With the growing security concerns, it is important for computer professionals to know the various security methods properly. So, with that in mind, here are 12 of the best books on security that you can read! | ![]() |
2. An Introduction to Computer Security: The NIST Handbook: This is a handbook for securing computer-based resources. It consists of important concepts in the field, along with topics like cost and the relationship to security controls.
3. Coding Theory and Cryptography: As the name suggests, it deals with coding theory and cryptography. This book consists of a number of advanced concepts on the subject.
4. Creating a Robust Form of Steganography: This is a paper that makes a proposal for a transform embedding method along with notions from digital watermarking, in order to improve them and make them suited for steganography.
5. Cryptanalysis of RSA Using Algebraic And Lattice Methods: This book deals with the security of public key cryptosystems. It deals with the RSA public key cryptosystem and it’s variants.
6. Forensic Discovery: This book is perhaps the best guide for computer forensics. It teaches the nooks and crannies of gathering digital evidence and then analysing it.
7. Handbook of Applied Cryptography: While this book deals with several cryptographic methods it covers a variety of classical cyptosystems as well.
8. Handbook of Information Security Management: This book is especially suited to professional cryptographers, who can use it as a reference guide for their purposes.
9. Image Steganography and Steganalysis: This is another book that can act as a good reference book for security professionals. It is well suited to those pursuing Certified Information System Security Professionals (CISSP) certification.
10. Introduction to Modern Cryptography: Steganography is the art of hiding information and steganalysis is the method for countering it. This book explains both.
11. IT Security Cookbook: Block ciphers, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, pseudorandom encryption, authentication etc. are all part of this book.
12. Lecture Notes on Cryptography: This is a collection of 283 pages of lecture notes from a summer course taught at MIT.
