First, I want to express my thanks to all people who contributed to and were involved in the writing, publishing, and selling of the first edition of this book. Among these people, I am particularly grateful for the interest and support of Kurt Bauknecht, Dieter Hogrefe, Hansjurg Mey, and Gunther Pernul. Also, I want to thank all buyers of the first edition; they have made it possible for me to update the book and to develop a second edition. Since the publication of the first edition in 1997, many security professionals, colleagues, customers, and students have provided valuable comments, suggestions, and pointers for further material to me. I hope that this input is taken into proper consideration. Again, the staff at Artech House was enormously helpful in producing the second edition of this book. Among these people, I'd like to thank Rebecca Allendorf, Ruth Harris, Tim Pitts, Judi Stone, Susanna Taggart, and Igor Valdman. Above all, I want to thank my family (i.e., my wife, Isabelle, and my son, Marc) for their encouragement, support, and patience during the writing of the book. The result is dedicated to them.
