Summary: Good book
Comment: Good read, but primarily as an introductory primer. General info and comprehensive, with good discussion and resources. But to really get into the nuts and bolts of this subject, you will need to find other books. Somewhat esoteric at times and frustrating.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great Material
Comment: Web Security, Privacy and Commerce
by Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford was a gift to me for my birthday when getting ready to pass my "Master Site Designer," test it turned out to be great pre test material which helped me pass my test.

Thanks for a great book I look forward to more by the authors.

Rating: 2
Summary: In a word, disappointing.
Comment: Apart from paid reviewers I can't see anyone with any actual knowledge of security rating this book 5 stars. It is not as clear and concise as it should be, and the technical knowledge is freely available at securityfocus.com and other sites. A better job could have been done with security and privacy policies.

More effort should have been put forth in providing common sense (implementable) solutions or best practices instead of re-hashing material that other books have already done a better job presenting.

I normally enjoy O'reilly books but like the first edition, this book is a disappointment.
