After several years of argument, I've persuaded my publisher to let me put
my book "Security Engineering" online for free download:

   http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html

My book draws on a lot of the experience shared in this list, and has become
a standard textbook in the field.

The publishers thought for years that it was too risky to let authors put
books online but they are gradually learning that this isn't so.  Putting a
book online often increases its sales; more people read it and those who
find it useful often go buy a copy.

Enjoy!  Ross Anderson, Cambridge University
