Windows .NET Server Security Handbook is the complete, practical, step-by-step guide to maximizing Windows .NET security. In this book, two leading experts show how to take advantage of every important new Windows .NET security feature, from .NET's new firewall to its updated Encrypting File System. They review the critical security implications of new features such as raw sockets and Remote Desktop, then demonstrate how to use Microsoft's latest tools to configure security in a wide range of scenarios, and to lock down any Windows .NET system -- Professional or Home. Dr. Cyrus Peikari and Seth Fogie present in-depth coverage of utilizing Microsoft's new Internet Connection Firewall; securing Microsoft IIS Web services in Windows .NET environments; configuring Windows .NET VPNs, PKI, and Smart Cards; and much more. Along the way, they show how to make the most of Microsoft's new security toolset, including the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in, Secedit.exe, and Security Templates. They illuminate the core security architecture Microsoft's .NET platform is built upon, and offer a practical strategy for staying ahead of newly-identified security problems, both current and future.
