Access Control, Authentication, and Public Key Infrastructure

Acknowledgments

The authors would like to thank Jones & Bartlett Learning for the opportunity to write this book and be a part of the Information Systems Security & Assurance Series project. Thanks also go to Mike Chapple, our technical reviewer, and Kim Lindros, our project manager. Mike ensured that every sentence in this book was as clear and technically accurate as it could possibly be. Kim managed the project on our behalf, reviewing and ferrying all the pieces that flowed between us, Mike Chapple, and Jones & Bartlett Learning.

Our heartfelt gratitude to our extended family and friends, without whose support we could not have written this book.
