Description: Security expert Dorothy Denning focuses on the criminals and information terrorists whose depredations include information-based threats to nations, corporations, and individuals. From government use of information warfare for law enforcement investigations and military and intelligence operations, to conflicts arising in the areas of free speech and encryption, this book places cybercrime within a broader context, integrating the various kinds of information crime -- and the countermeasures against it -- into a methodology-based framework. The approach addresses offensive information warfare (including acquisition of information) deceptive exploitation of information, and denial of access to information. Additionally, Denning presents case examples, including the Persian Gulf War, stressing actual incidents to illustrate instances of information warfare.
