Digital Communications - Glover & Grant

An up-to-date and comprehensive text on the rapidly expanding field of fixed and mobile communications, including data networks and packet switched systems. The aim of the book is fourfold- (1) to develop the mathematical theory behind signal processing as used in modern digital communications systems, (2) to extend these theoretical signalling concepts into information links which are robust in the presence of noise and other impairment mechanisms, (3) to investigate how these transmission links can be developed into fixed and mobile data communications systems for voice and video transmission, and (4) to develop queuing theory techniques and explore their development in small and large scale data transmission networks such as ISDN. The material is set in an appropriate historical context, and a substantial number of numerical and practical examples are included in the text.

Hacking the Code: ASP.NET Web Application Security

More of a programmer's guide than a security guide, Hacking the Code explains how certain code can be attacked, shows how you should edit the code, and offers case studies and examples for doing so. The book establishes policies for object input, and shows how to audit existing code for potential security problems.

People constantly ask security expert Mark Burnett for a guide to writing secure code. They don't want a course on security, they want to f.i.x their code. This book is a practical guide on how to maintain session state, how to properly handle cookies, how to get user input, and more. Instead of just telling you how to do it, Burnett shows actual code that can be dropped right into your applications. This book covers almost all security issues known. Burnett has put hundreds of hours of research into his code audit database and is now making that available to you.
