Very good!!!

Practical, concise and very up-to-date. The description of the chapters 1 and 2 is quite didactic. The chapters 9 and 12 are excellent. I recommend this book for those who want to connect the theory of the cryptography with the practice at hardware level.

A complete-in-one-volume resource for self-teaching

Designing Network Security: A Practical Guide To Creating A Secure Network Infrastructure by Cisco Systems expert Merike Kaeo is a solid introduction for experienced computer programmers seeking to acquire the specific skills necessary to implement an effective, high quality security. Ranging from basic cryptography; to common techniques and specific configuration examples (with especial focus on common protocol vulnerabilities); securing dial-in access, and much, much more, Designing Network Security is a complete-in-one-volume resource for self-teaching, and is ideal as a continuing reference and instructional text for advanced coursework in designing and developing computer network security systems and protocols.

Good Book to prepare for the MCNS examination

Exam 640-442 is the Security Specialistization for people who have attained their CCNP certification. Excellent coverage of AAA, TACACS+, RADIUS, PIX, 3DES, DMZ as well as IPSEC and CBAC. This is alot of material to be discussed in one book. Cisco provides a CD ROM with this same material for $250.00, this is a much better deal. If you want to enhance your knowledge of access-lists, reflexive access-lists etc. this is the book for you. Merike did her homework on this material, I completed many of the configurations presented in the book, they were accurate.

Best book I've read on Security

I really enjoyed reading this book. Lot's of information pertaining to PIX, Access-lists, Distribute Lists, IPsec. Every angle was covered, I compared to the Cisco 12.0 Ios Network Security book, this one had more detail. Which is difficult considering how much is covered with Cisco documentation. If you've read the articles pertaining to Cisco's investment in the Security market, you've got to have this book. This book is the security what Halibi's book is to BGP.

An excellent book

This is an excellent book for crytography, security policy and access control. I suggest this book for those taking the CISSP exam because of its information on encryption. There are sections that at a bit heavy on CISCO configuration but that is expected since they wrote it.
