The DotCrime Manifesto: How to Stop Internet Crime
Internet crime keeps getting worse...but it doesn't have to be that way. In this book, Internet security pioneer Phillip Hallam-Baker shows how we can make the Internet far friendlier for honest people-and far less friendly to criminals. The dotCrime Manifesto begins with a revealing new look at the challenge of Internet crime-and a surprising look
at today's Internet criminals. You'll discover why the Internet's lack of accountability makes it so vulnerable, and how this can be fixed -technically, politically, and culturally. Hallam-Baker introduces tactical, short-term measures for countering phishing, botnets, spam, and other forms of Internet crime. Even more important, he presents a comprehensive plan for implementing accountability-driven security infrastructure: a plan that draws on tools that are already available, and rapidly emerging standards and products. The result: a safer Internet that doesn't sacrifice what people value most: power, ubiquity, simplicity, flexibility, or privacy.A * Tactics and strategy: protecting Internet infrastructure from top to bottom Building more secure transport, messaging, identities, networks, platforms, and more A * Gaining safety without sacrificing the Internet's unique power and value Making the Internet safer for honest people without sacrificing ubiquity, simplicity, or privacy A * Spam: draining the swamp, once and for all Why spam contributes to virtually every form of Internet crime-and what we can do about it A * Design for deployment: how to really make it happen Defining security objectives, architecture, strategy, and design-and evangelizing them How to Build a Safer, Better Internet You'll find yourself deeply concerned, then fascinated, then hopeful as you read about A * Building an Internet that resists online crime A * Phishing, botnets, and spam: Tactical, workable, immediate countermeasures A * Establishing the Accountable Web : a strategic, long-term solution to Internet crime A * Improving security without sacrificing what people love about the Internet The Internet is today's Wild West: too much lawlessness, too little accountability.Now, one of the Internet's leading pioneers shows how we can build a more trustworthy Internet: one that resists crime without frustrating honest people or compromising privacy and civil liberties. Drawing on years at the cutting edge of Internet and security research, Phillip Hallam-Baker offers a complete plan for reinventing the Internet: a plan that addresses everything from technology to politics and culture. Whether you're a technology professional, policymaker, or citizen, this book will show you how we can make the Internet better, smarter, and above all, safer. www.awprofessional.com Preface Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Motive Chapter 2: Famous for Fifteen Minutes Chapter 3: Learning from Mistakes Chapter 4: Making Change Happen Chapter 5: Design for Deployment Chapter 6: Spam Whack-a-Mole Chapter 7: Stopping Spam Chapter 8: Stopping Phishing Chapter 9: Stopping Botnets Chapter 10: Cryptography Chapter 11: Establishing Trust Chapter 12: Secure Transport Chapter 13: Secure Messaging Chapter 14: Secure Identity Chapter 15: Secure Names Chapter 16: Secure Networks Chapter 17: Secure Platforms Chapter 18: Law Chapter 19: The dotCrime Manifesto Further Reading References
