BOOK
Integrity of intention (a theory of types for security APIs) [An article from: Information Security Technical Report]
J. Clulow

This digital document is a journal article from Information Security Technical Report, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
The task of a security API is to allow users to process data and key material according to the designer's intentions, and to prevent any malicious sequence of commands from violating these intentions. Security APIs do this by attaching metadata to keys and data -type information - to record acceptable usage policy, which is checked by individual API commands in order to approve or deny a particular manipulation. But what actually is type information? This paper proposes a conceptual framework for understanding cryptographic type, and how it maintains the integrity of the designer's intentions in an API. We describe four core conceptual components of type: form, use, role and domain. We compare our model to real-life security APIs, and argue that designing new systems within the bounds of the model improves safety, eliminating many common security issues.

Less typical of other Bond novels, No Deals deals with the betrayal, infighting, and backstabbing that occurs in all governmental agencies. More intrigue oriented than action packed.

BOOK
On Her Majesty's Secret Service: A James Bond Novel
Ian Fleming
$69.99

About this product:
This Thorndike Press version of this novel is a real treat for the seeing impaired. The large print is a joy and easy to read and the hardcover binding and design is very good too.

As for the novel itself, no one will ever mistake Fleming's works for Hemingway or even Agatha Christie although at some points, Fleming's writing comes close to imitating their styles but when it comes to fast moving and great plots, this novel is probably the best Bond adventure ever written.

The writing is rather juvenile and reminded me of one of the Hardy Boy's adventures that I used to read as a child but if you take this as extremely light reading to pass the time (I read this while recovering at hospital and completed it in less than two days although I spent most of the time sleeping)you will not be disappointed.

This quick page-turner has a number of plot twists and colourful characters such as Bond's father-in-law, the crime syndicate head and his wife, Tracy, his arch nemesis, Blofeld and Ms. Bunt among others.

What's really good about this novel though is that we get to see a soft, vulnerable side of James Bond here. Bond seems to be tired and a little fed up of spying and even considers resigning. He starts to reminisce about Vesper, his love interest from his first adventure in Casino Royale and decides to make a pit stop there, ironically finding the real love of his life there as well!

Overall, we get a much more believable character who is a lot more human than in his earlier portrayals in what would be Fleming's 3rd last Bond novel. If you are a fan of James Bond but not necessarily great writing, this is probably the best Bond adventure that you can get which truly gives you an insight into every aspect of the character. You actually feel his sorrow at the end as Bond becomes more human here.

This novel may actually be a response to Fleming's many critics at the time which even included John Le Carre who complained that Bond was simply a thug who apathetically commits crimes against humanity as a normal course of life. The Bond you see here does not fit this description anymore.

Recommended reading.
