"The goal of this book is to present some of the material that forms the foundation of information assurance and computer security. It was attempted to add instances in order to demonstrate the difficulty of many of the ideas. It is all too simple to assert flatly that a system must have a reference monitor, or that covert channel restrictions must be implemented, or that the network must be secure against unauthorized traffic observation, or any number of other requirements. Typically, such events indicate a severe development issue, as the devil is always found in the details." -- Preface
