Back in 2006 Ross Anderson ^[1] (Professor of Security Engineering at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory ^[2]) announced on his blog ^[3] that he had published the full contents of the first edition ^[4] of his book “Security Engineering ^[5]” in PDF format. The book covers a whole range of security issues from creating, managing, accrediting & breaking the mechanisms themselves through security politics and into topics like DRM.

Now the second edition of Security Engineering ^[6] is about to arrive (published April 14th in the US, Amazon say stock expected in 1-4 weeks) and mine is on order already (along with a copy of Linus Torvalds Just for Fun ^[7]).. 🙂
