Лучшие книги Брюса Шнайера

В этой книге Брюс Шнайер — автор нескольких бестселлеров и признанный специалист в области безопасности и защиты информации, — опираясь на собственный опыт, разрушает заблуждения многих, уверенных в конфиденциальности и неприкосновенности информации. Он разъясняет читателям, почему так сложно предотвратить доступ третьих лиц к личной цифровой информации, что нужно знать, чтобы обеспечить ее защиту, сколько средств следует выделять на обеспечение корпоративной безопасности и многое, многое другое.

Классический образ хакера — это специалист ИТ высочайшего класса, который знает несколько языков программирования, разбирается в устройстве систем безопасности и в два счета подберет пароль к вашему почтовому ящику. Он изучает системы для того, чтобы найти в них уязвимости и заставить работать в своих интересах. Однако взламывать можно не только компьютеры, но и социальные системы: от налогового законодательства до финансовых рынков и политики.

В своей книге легендарный криптограф, специалист по кибербезопасности и преподаватель Гарварда Брюс Шнайер рассказывает о том, как могущественные, но неизвестные публике хакеры помогают богатым и влиятельным людям становиться еще богаче и манипулировать сознанием людей. Кроме того, он приводит огромное количество примеров хаков социальных систем: взломов тарифных планов для междугородних звонков, банкоматов, программ лояльности пассажиров, манипуляций на рынке элитной недвижимости и многих других. Прочитав ее, вы узнаете, как замечать взломы, и уже не сможете смотреть на мир по-прежнему.

Юбилейный выпуск к 20-летию книги! До появления настоящей монографии практикам приходилось тратить многие часы на поиск и изучение научной литературы, прежде чем они могли приступить к разработке криптографических приложений. Именно этот пробел восполняет книга "Прикладная криптография". Начав с целей засекречивания передачи данных и простейших примеров программ для достижения этих целей, Брюс Шнайер разворачивает перед читателем всю панораму практических результатов 20 лет исследований В книге Брюса Шнайера "Прикладная криптография. Протоколы, алгоритмы, исходные тексты на языке C(Си)" в деталях описаны принципы работы, реализации и…

Данная книга, написанная всемирно известными специалистами в области криптографии, представляет собой уникальное в своем роде руководство по практической разработке криптографической системы, устраняя тем самым досадный пробел между теоретическими основами криптографии и реальными криптографическими приложениями. В ней прослеживается процесс проектирования криптографической системы от выбора конкретных алгоритмов через всевозможные наслоения вопросов безопасности до построения инфраструктуры, необходимой для работы этой системы. На протяжении книги обсуждается одна-единственная проблема криптографии, лежащая в основе практически каждой криптографической системы: как обеспечить безопасность общения двух людей. Сконцентрировав все внимание на одной проблеме и одной философии проектирования, применяемой для ее решения, авторы верят, что могут рассказать больше о реальных аспектах разработки криптографических систем.

You are under surveillance right now.

Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who’s with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you’re thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it.

The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we’re offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches.

Much of this is voluntary: we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we’ve gained? In Data and Goliath, security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He shows us exactly what we can do to reform our government surveillance programs and shake up surveillance-based business models, while also providing tips for you to protect your privacy every day. You'll never look at your phone, your computer, your credit cards, or even your car in the same way again.

A world of "smart" devices means the Internet can kill people. We need to act. Now.

Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers―from home thermostats to chemical plants―are all online. The Internet, once a virtual abstraction, can now sense and touch the physical world.

As we open our lives to this future, often called the Internet of Things, we are beginning to see its enormous potential in ideas like driverless cars, smart cities, and personal agents equipped with their own behavioral algorithms. But every knife cuts two ways.

All computers can be hacked. And Internet-connected computers are the most vulnerable. Forget data theft: cutting-edge digital attackers can now crash your car, your pacemaker, and the nation’s power grid. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, renowned expert and best-selling author Bruce Schneier examines the hidden risks of this new reality.

After exploring the full implications of a world populated by hyperconnected devices, Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today. He then offers common-sense choices for companies, governments, and individuals that can allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to its vulnerabilities.

From principles for a more resilient Internet of Things, to a recipe for sane government regulation and oversight, to a better way to understand a truly new environment, Schneier’s vision is required reading for anyone invested in human flourishing.

How does society function when you can't trust everyone?

When we think about trust, we naturally think about personal relationships or bank vaults. That's too narrow. Trust is much broader, and much more important. Nothing in society works without trust. It's the foundation of communities, commerce, democracy—everything.

In this insightful and entertaining book, Schneier weaves together ideas from across the social and biological sciences to explain how society induces trust. He shows how trust works and fails in social settings, communities, organizations, countries, and the world.

In today's hyper-connected society, understanding the mechanisms of trust is as important as understanding electricity was a century ago. Issues of trust and security are critical to solving problems as diverse as corporate responsibility, global warming, and our moribund political system. After reading Liars and Outliers, you'll think about social problems, large and small, differently.
