Special thanks go to the information security team at the University of Notre Dame who provided hours of interesting conversation and debate on security issues that inspired and informed much of the material in this book.

I would like to thank the team at Wiley who provided invaluable assistance throughout the book development process. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my literary agent, Carole Jelen of Waterside Productions. My coauthors, James Michael Stewart and Darril Gibson, were great collaborators. It would be remiss not to also thank Ed Tittel, our coauthor on the first five editions of this book, who was unable to participate in this revision. David Seidl, who joined the team as our technical editor, provided valuable insight as we brought this edition to press.
