Description:
Information Security is usually achieved through a mix of
technical, organizational and legal measures. These may include the
application of cryptography, the hierarchical modeling of organizations
in order to assure confidentiality, or the distribution of
accountability and responsibility by law, among interested parties. The
history of Information Security reaches back to ancient times and
starts with the emergence of bureaucracy in administration and warfare.
Some aspects, such as the interception of encrypted messages during
World War II, have attracted huge attention, whereas other aspects have
remained largely uncovered. There has never been any effort to write a
comprehensive history. This is most unfortunate, because Information
Security should be perceived as a set of communicating vessels, where
technical innovations can make existing legal or organisational
frame-works obsolete and a breakdown of political authority may cause
an exclusive reliance on technical means.This book is intended as a
first field-survey. It consists of twenty-eight contributions, written
by experts in such diverse fields as computer science, law, or history
and political science, dealing with episodes, organisations and
technical developments that may considered to be exemplary or have
played a key role in the development of this field.These include: the
emergence of cryptology as a discipline during the Renaissance, the
Black Chambers in 18th century Europe, the breaking of German military
codes during World War II, the histories of the NSA and its Soviet
counterparts and contemporary cryptology. Other subjects are: computer
security standards, viruses and worms on the Internet, computer
transparency and free software, computer crime, export regulations for
encryption software and the privacy debate. - Interdisciplinary
coverage of the history Information Security- Written by top experts in
law, history, computer and information science- First comprehensive
work in Information Security.
