Description
Trust in Computer Systems and the Cloud by Mike Bursell explores the nature of trust in computer security and its impact on emerging fields like Confidential Computing. With expertise spanning from Chief Security Architect at Red Hat to CEO of a Confidential Computing start-up, Bursell provides a comprehensive understanding of fundamental concepts of trust and their applications. The book delves into the importance of quantifying risk and draws on social sciences to explain hardware and software security, complex systems, and open source communities. It examines the impact of Confidential Computing on security, trust, and risk, as well as the emerging concept of trust domains, which offer an alternative to standard layered security. Suitable for security architects at the CISSP level or higher, this book is also valuable for system architects, security system engineers, and master's students in software architecture and security.
