Web Security, Privacy and Commerce, 2nd Edition

Part V: Appendixes

This part of the book, is filled with lists and nitty-gritty technical information that is too detailed for the main body of this book.

Appendix A is a first-person account of the ISP that offers service exclusively on Martha's Vineyard.

Appendix B contains more detailed information about the SSL and TLS protocols. This chapter won't give you enough information to write your own SSL or TLS implementation, but it will give you an understanding of what is happening on the wire.

Appendix C is a detailed introduction to the P3P specification. This chapter, written by Lorrie Faith Cranor and included with permission, includes information on how to write your own P3P policy.

Appendix D provides detailed information on the PICS specification. Although PICS appears largely dead today, a PICS implementation is included in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, so PICS is still there for anybody who wants to use it.

Appendix E is a listing of books, articles, and web sites containing further helpful information about web security, privacy, and commerce.
