"Security Engineering" Is Now Online

An anonymous reader writes "Ross Anderson, author of 'Security Engineering', notifies in a message to comp.risks that he just got permission from Wiley to let anyone download the full content of his book for free. This is one of the best books on computer security and it is used as textbook in many University courses (I teach two of them)."

Grr

Did the authors of said fine book manage to spell "Engineering" correctly?

Come On, 'Enginner' Is A Word

E-books lacking in important feature

But what's the point if you can't display it on your bookshelf among all the other tomes you've never read.
