Bullet-proof security is one of the strengths of Microsoft Windows 2000, but until now, no one has presented a complete picture of Windows 2000 Web server, component-level, and database security features and considerations.

DESIGNING SECURE WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS 2000 offers an integrated, authoritative, pragmatic, end-to-end view of Windows 2000 security topics.

The book starts by providing a solid foundation in Windows 2000 security theory and concepts, explaining the key software design considerations for various categories and levels of security, and showing how isolated security "islands" interact.

It explains core security issues such as risk analysis, threats, authentication, authorization, and privacy, and then discusses ways to apply the appropriate security to an application to mitigate risk.

It covers a range of security technologies such as NTLM authentication, Kerberos authentication, SSL/TLS, CryptoAPI, ACLs, Active Directory(tm), Certificates, Web security capabilities, and COM+ security.

Finally, the author uses Web services, certificates, components, and database access to build a Web-based application (included on a companion CD) to show how Windows 2000 security features work in concert to protect applications and data.
