Customer Reviews:
Good book: wake up call before implementing and considering PKI .......2007-02-08
I found this book very useful. With other material in the field the author did a great job.
If you planned to roll out a PKI just take a moment and take a deep breath before doing that and consider all the do's and don't's. Ask yourself the question if PKI is really the only solution for your problem. This book helps you get that perspective. Good style of writing, clear and consistent. Certainly worth buying. Don't assume this is a deep technical drill down on PKI and you're okay!

good, broad coverage.......2005-04-06
Overall I found this book to cover the key concepts of PKI and its practical use fairly well. The case studies help me relate to how things are actually being done. My issue with other books is that they are too theoretical. Also the book gives me a strong case for expanding my PKI deployment as I can cite other successes (worldwide).
More to do with compliance than with PKI.......2003-06-01
The author seems to have "bought" into Public Key Infrastructure completely. Many chapters have a simliar formula:
1. Explain background on the compliance issue or standard
2. Then explain why PKI is so great and solves a majority of the problems with the particular issue being discussed.
This leaves a bit to be desired in some cases as the compliance-heavy discussions really move past PKI and into extremely detailed market compliance issues. This book will be useful for individuals looking for information having to do with Financial, e-Government, and Health Care compliance issues but not necessarily with PKI implementations for Enterprise organizations.
Good stuff.......2003-05-05
Good stuff on PKI: technical and business angles. Compliance was the main reason I took at look at this book, since HIPAA affects us day to day. I did appreciate the introduction to the technology (with technical depth). One thing I did really like it was that (to large degree) the book was vendor neutral. Some of the books through the RSA label have some spin. Definitely worth adding this book to the security collection.
Practical and timely book on security.......2003-04-23
This book covers a good chunk of digital security strategies with a focus on digital certificates (PKI). The first part of the book covers the PKI basics including technical and business topics. The next part of the book goes over the compliance laws (in relevant vertical areas) and how PKI (and compatible technologies) help resolve them. The last part of the book goes over resources and specific products/companies.
What I really liked about this book is it focus on how solve real problems such as compliance issues. Plus the case studies and specific vendor references make this is a good book to use for actual implementations.
Finally, this is a recent book on PKI and I have not seen too much on this topic as of late. The international coverage in the book also does well to keep the material relevant and current.
I would say this book would be ideal for security consultants as well as decision makers doing anything related to digital certificates and/or ecommerce in general.
Average customer rating:
- I don't need to read it to know it sucks!
- Aside from MS tech, the book has a lot to offer.
- Not worth the paper it's printed on
- Where is the "Solutions"?

I don't need to read it to know it sucks!.......2007-02-03
Sorry if I discourage any of you from buying this book. But, if you're looking for a very unrelialble solution, this book is for you.

Aside from MS tech, the book has a lot to offer........2004-04-30
I picked this book up not because of the Microsoft-specific solution, but for the HIPAA overview. Sounds like the other reviewers already had that, but for me this is the first place I've seen it all laid out.
As for it being Microsoft-specific, I just feel obligated to point out that this book documents a very specific solution that Microsoft put together with one of its partners. So, while the "comprehensive strategies" part of the title may be a misnomer, taken in context it's not a bad document. In Microsoft's document model this would be a Planning and Architecture document, aimed at the Business Decision Maker to give them an overview and get them interested in a particular architecture. (Disclaimer, I write these kinds of documents for Microsoft.) I do think the book, which appears extracted from a P&A document fails to adequately define the audience and that could cause some confusion.
So for a high-level view of both the landscape and a particular architecture, this is not a bad book. For a "comprehensive" solution, this is probably just the first step in a long journey.
Not worth the paper it's printed on.......2002-07-03
This book contains nothing valuable. The case studies in it are superficial and tells the readers nothing about what's actually going on behind the scene. For example, in the first case, there's an explanation about mapping between X12 837 to some other formats. The example shows a screenshot of a nice GUI that allows the user to map elements of X12 to some other format presumably by using XML mapping. But where does the screen gets its information from? This example doesn't tell us anything about how to come up with a good XML representation of the X12 837 spec. Which is the first thing that any "solutions" would have to start from. I guess it's because of the closed-source nature of everything that Microsoft is doing, that they are afraid of showing the actual processes that they went through. Furthermore, they are actually proud of a solution that employs 6 different servers? the licensing costs alone are enough to put most clearinghouses out of business. If you're looking for an insight on how to actually help someone with HIPAA compiance, don't count on this book to be anything but a waste of money and time.
Where is the "Solutions"?.......2002-02-16
How can someone write book about a solution to a national problem where all they are doing is promoting the WPC product lines and some shallow Microsoft explanation of a server that can be found for FREE from the Microsoft Website. I could not find this book in the store to check it out before buying so I had to buy it. Don't repeat my mistake. Look for a more objective view and solution elsewhere.
Is this ethical to charge money for this book??
Nothing More Than a Microsoft Sales Pitch.......2001-12-08
If you are looking for practical assistance with HIPAA compliance, look elsewhere. This is nothing but a very long adervertisement for Microsoft products.

Product Description
With the recent republication of Dr. Maynard Murray's Sea Energy Agriculture, readers rediscovered the forgotten legacy of an eco-ag pioneer. Murray's idea -- that ocean water contains a concentrated, perfect balance of trace minerals in bioavailable form -- seems almost as revolutionary today as when he introduced it three decades ago. In this fascinating book, Charles Walters examines Murray's career and the amazing successes that growers have experienced with his methods, as well as further developments in this technology by creative experimenters. Using hard data obtained in the field, Walters demonstrates that sea-solids fertilizers produce stress-resistant plants and food with naturally extended shelf life and vastly increased nurtient levels. Both an amazing narrative and a practical guide for improving soil and crop health, Fertility from the Ocean Deep is a must-read for everyone interested in the cutting edge of sustainable agriculture.

A fascinating explanation of the missing mineral link.......2007-09-27
This book is not only a well written account of the live's of Dr. Maynard Murray and Rene Quinton who discovered the nutritional properties of sea water and their miraculous effects on agriculture, livestock and the human body. it explains how many of today's maladies have been solved with dietary supplementation of "ocean plasma" or a diluted isotonic solution of sea water. it shows how farmers have benefited from adding a diluted small amount of sea salt to their crops and how their yields have increased. It shows how livestock are sensitive to the mineral composition of the soil and how they will migrate to a field that has been treated as opposed to one that has not.
Table salt has two main ones Sodium Chloride. Sea salt has 92 different trace minerals. This book is a must for the farmer, the rancher and those interested in health. It is one of my greatest finds

Book Description
Contemporary legislation respecting environmental protection and public health, at both national and international levels, are based on data that characterize chemical properties of environmental phenomena, especially those that reside in our food chain. Thus, environmental and food quality are now matters of major public concern and therefore a system of metrology in trace analysis has recently been developed at the international level. This new edition of a bestseller highlights the significance of anthropogenic factors in changing the trace element status in soils and plants. Written by Dr. Alina Kabata-Pendias, a world-renowned plant and soil scientist, Trace Elements in Soil and Plants, Third Edition incorporates recent data from about 400 respected sources. These data present the most recent research on topical issues such as the assessment of natural/background content of trace elements in soil; bioindication of chemical status of environmental compartments; soil remediation; and hyperaccumulation and hyperextraction of trace metals from the soil. Discussions of the health-related significance of trace elements in food are also included. This third edition presents an overview of the principal pathways from soils to plants. The author provides the background for a more profound understanding of ways by which chemical processes operate in both polluted and unpolluted conditions of the soil-plant system. The current review of recent soil-plant findings offered by Trace Elements in Soil and Plants, Third Edition renders the book an indispensable reference.

Book Description
Biochemistry of Metal Micronutrients in the Rhizosphere focuses on chemical factors and biological activities that control the uptake and translocation of essential metal micronutrients by plants and microorganisms. Emphasis is placed on current proposals describing the roles of microorganisms in controlling the biological activities of metal micronutrients in the rhizosphere. Coverage includes basic principles of siderophore-mediated Fe acquisition by microorganisms, siderophores as important regulators of Fe availability to plants and rhizosphere microorganisms, and microbial control of metal micronutrient supply to plants. The book evaluates plant uptake processes of Fe, Mn, and Zn in solution cultures and integrates this information with a rapidly developing understanding of rhizosphere events. Important consideration is given to the roles of metal ion chelation and soil chemistry in these biological activities. The current understanding of the biochemical events associated with Fe-deficiency in plants is discussed, including how these activities mediate micronutrient availability to both plants and soil microorganisms. This unique mixture of detailed coverage of the events that control biological activities of Fe, Mn, and Zn in the rhizosphere makes this book an essential reference.

Book Description
Understanding attenuation processes is important not only for predicting the behavior of contaminants in soil and formulating remediation strategies, but also for mitigating and enhancing the availability of micronutrients in soil for agricultural applications. Natural Attenuation of Trace Element Availability in Soils brings together pioneering researchers who discuss their cutting-edge work in this area. The first chapters focus on practical analytical techniques for the measurement and the biological assessment of natural attenuation of trace elements. The following chapters analyze the processes that occur in the natural attenuation of contaminants and nutrients, covering the structural dynamics of mineral surfaces, partitioning, diffusion, fixation, biological and redox processes, and the reversibility of these processes. The remaining chapters consider the impact and implications of natural attenuation in terms of risk assessment, remediation of inorganic contaminants, and bioavailability of essential nutrients. Offering a concise, well-rounded perspective, Natural Attenuation of Trace Element Availability in Soils demonstrates how attenuation processes can significantly impact strategies for soil remediation and serve as a basis for environmental regulations.
