More esoteric but less practical than neededMay 21, 2007
By Dennis Dow
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 The author is using a strange mix of historical references (HRU for example) and bleeding edge, yet to penetrate the market (XNS) technologies.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.
 Terminology tangleApr 09, 2012
By Vo Blinn
This is a review of 2006 (hardcover) edition.
The book is hardly self-sufficient, requiring frequent cross-reference to
external sources to confirm/deny used terminology.
Here're some examples (using highlights from the top of the book).
1. policy vs. paradigm (p. 25);
For access-control author defines 2 types of policies, but 3 paradigms.
Most available sources reference 3 types of a/c policies.
2. information-flow officer (p. 25);
3. MVS examples, used throughout the book, are hardly illustrative, since
few are versed in MF architecture;
4. diagrams are not illustrative.
This work was not expected to serve as a "practical text" (see review by
Dennis Dow).
However, it failed to become an a/c reference due to the discrepancies
in terminology.
Since this is a technical book, terminology accuracy is paramount,
hence my rating is 2.

Incomplete and UnbalancedJul 12, 2008
By busyperson7
"busyperson7"
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.
