Your students will become guardians of some of society's most sensitive information. The same fresh faces who desperately, please-pretty-please, need an extension, will graduate and take jobs caring for social security numbers, bank accounts, prescription records, personnel files and other proprietary information. You owe it to yourself, your colleagues, you family, and the rest of society to prepare them for the task.
The new book, _Translucent Databases_, discusses some of the best techniques for securing a database from attackers and insiders. The book contains working examples that solve more than two dozen scenarios protecting information about naval ships, baby sitter schedules, poker hands, insider trading, rape victims and more. Each example is worked out in Java and basic SQL.
The book can either be used as a module for a senior-level course or as the basis for an entire advanced course.
If you would like a free copy to review, please write either the author (p3@wayner.org) or the publisher (info@flyzone.com) with your address at the university.
