If you have the responsibility to enforce
security policies
for your
ATM networks,
implementing ATM security devices
(both hardware and software), or simply need to better
understand the mechanisms defined in the ATM Forum Security
Specification 1.1, Implementing Security for ATM Networks
is must reading. Specifically targeted at ATM
network
security, including cryptographic and architectural
techniques, it provides you with a solid understanding of
the current and future state of ATM security.
From an introduction to network security and
fundamentals, to implementing and using ATM security,
security association establishment protocols, initial
authentication, data origin authentication/integrity,
encryption, access control, and PNNI routing, this
first-of-its-kind book provides practical need-to-know
information for network architects, ATM security
implementers and researchers who wish to gain a thorough
understanding of the current and future state of ATM
security standards and mechanisms.
