Security Engineering, Second Edition available online

The NoVA Infosec site notes that Ross Anderson's Security Engineering, Second Edition is available online in PDF form. "'Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems' written by Ross Anderson of the University of Cambridge and published by Wiley has been one of the 'goto' references for teaching security over the past decade. Although more academic than many of the modern-day security books out there, 'Security Engineering' not only covers the basics of security but also some of the intricacies of building secure systems from the ground up." The reviews include one from Bruce Schneier calling it "the best book on the topic there is".

This is wonderful news. The first edition of Ross's book had a big impact on me when I first read it. I highly recommend Security Engineering to anyone with an interest in the field.
