You have no idea who I am, but let's say that I'm a computer security

practitioner who has over 20 years in this business of protecting

customer's data, which I call computer security. I'm writing to

compliment you on your book noted in the title of this email. It is a

masterful work that has helped me considerably in understanding the

web environment moreso than ever before. I have recommended it to

many of my associates and friends who are in this business.

Thanks also to Mr. Gene Spafford for his notable contribution.

Speaking for those of us who are trying to help our clientele

understand not only the Web with regard to security practices and

principles, but also to those who do not understand how PKI helps move

this along: thank you!

You both have collaborated to produce a work that is considerably

greater than the 1st Edition. My compliments to others, especially

Ms. Deborah Russell. For what it's worth, I have little time to

understand many of the details that my customers ask of me. It is

through these books that I learn and understand more of the

underpinnings of solutions. Fortunately, developing solutions along

the lines you suggest really works. We are not yet 'there' but when we

are, I will be happy to confirm that your recommendations applied.

If you would be so kind, please pass along my thanks to both Gene

Spafford and Deborah Russell, I would appreciate it (not having their

email address).
