Guide Review - Book Review: PKI Security Solutions
PKI Security Solutions provides a good introduction to the concepts and technology that make up Public Key Infrastructure solutions. The strength of the book though lies in its focus on specific issues related to compliance with laws like the HIPAA with PKI solutions for each of them. It helps administrators design cost-effective solutions to protect their Internet communications. The case studies help readers to put things in perspective and grasp the concepts more quickly. The final chapters delve into current research and future trends for PKI technology. I definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about PKI and it is a must read for anyone responsible for HIPAA, GLBA or other regulatory compliance.
