 Incomplete and UnbalancedJul 12, 2008
Not much to say on this book except that I found it incomplete and lacking in practical processes, more studious than application oriented. I have read better books on the subject like the IAM Success Tips: Volume 1 which offers a lot more strategical information since it is more of a guide than an academic study.

 More esoteric but less practical than neededMay 21, 2007
The author is gives us an academic tome rather than a practical text. A background in discrete math is needed for several chapters. The author is using a strange mix of historical references (HRU for example) and bleeding edge, yet to penetrate the market (XNS) technologies. This would be fine but virtually ignores much in the process; UNIX and Windows as minor examples.
The text is accurate in what it says and would be a good masters level text in Compute Science. It is about the only text focusing deeply on Access Control. In any classroom situation, it will need supplementing.
