Trust in Computer Systems and the Cloud delivers an insightful and practical new take on what it means to trust in the context of computer and network security and the impact on the emerging field of Confidential Computing. Author Mike Bursell's experience, ranging from Chief Security Architect at Red Hat to CEO at a Confidential Computing start-up grounds the reader in fundamental concepts of trust and related ideas before discussing the more sophisticated applications of these concepts to various areas in computing.
The book demonstrates in the importance of understanding and quantifying risk and draws on the social and computer sciences to explain hardware and software security, complex systems, and open source communities. It takes a detailed look at the impact of Confidential Computing on security, trust and risk and also describes the emerging concept of trust domains, which provide an alternative to standard layered security.
* Foundational definitions of trust from sociology and other social sciences, how they evolved, and what modern concepts of trust mean to computer professionals
* A comprehensive examination of the importance of systems, from open-source communities to HSMs, TPMs, and Confidential Computing with TEEs.
* A thorough exploration of trust domains, including explorations of communities of practice, the centralization of control and policies, and monitoring
Perfect for security architects at the CISSP level or higher, Trust in Computer Systems and the Cloud is also an indispensable addition to the libraries of system architects, security system engineers, and master's students in software architecture and security.
MIKE BURSELL is CEO and co-founder of Profian, a Confidential Computing company. He holds multiple security patents, is a sought-after speaker at global technology conferences, and has contributed to major reports and security specifications for the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
"The problem is that when you use the word trust, people think they know what you mean. It turns out that they almost never do. With this singular statement, Bursell has defined both the premise and the value he expounds in this insightful treatise spanning the fundamentals and complexities of digital trust. Operationalizing trust is foundational to effective human and machine digital relationships, with Bursell leading the reader on a purposeful journey expressing and consuming elements of digital trust across current and future-relevant data lifecycles."
--Kurt Roemer, Chief Security Strategist and Office of the CTO, Citrix
"Trust is a matter of context. Specifically, "context" is one of the words most repeated in this book, and I must say that its use is justified in all cases. Not only is the meaning of trust is analysed in all possible contexts, including some essential philosophical and psychological foundations, but the concept is also applied to all possible ICT contexts, from basic processor instructions to cloud and edge infrastructures, and different trust frameworks are explored, from hierarchical (CAs) to distributed (DLTs) approaches. A must-read book to understand how one of the bases of human civilization can and must be applied in the digital world."
--Dr. Diego R. Lopez, Head of Technology Exploration, Telefonica and Chair of ETSI blockchain initiative
"Trust is a complex and important concept in network security. Bursell neatly unpacks it in this detailed and readable book."
--Bruce Schneier, author of Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust Society Needs to Thrive
"As we have moved to the digital society, appreciating what and what not to trust is paramount if you use computer systems and/or the Cloud. You will be well prepared when you have read this book."
--Professor Peter Landrock, D.Sc. (hon), Founder of Cryptomathic
"This book needs to be on every technologist's and engineer's bookshelf. Combining storytelling and technology, Bursell has shared with all of us the knowledge we need to build trust and security in a cloud computing environment."
--Steve Kolombaris, CISO & Cyber Security Leader with 20+ years' experience, formerly Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America
