Book excerpts:

This book was written for people involved in designing and writing software for the Microsoft .NET platform. It is chock-full of tips and insights about user-based security or the much preferred term, Windows security.

The book's organization is a bit unusual, in which topics were distilled into 75 small tidbits of information - items that link to one another - allowing you to read the book in any order that suits you. The 'what is' items focus on explaining concepts, while the 'how to' items focus on helping you perform a common task.

The book highlights new features in Windows Server 2003 and previews features of the upcoming version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. A companion Web site includes the source code and examples used throughout the book.

Topics covered include:

- Kerberos authentication
- Access control
- Impersonation
- Network security
- Constrained delegation
- Protocol transition
- Securing enterprise services
- Securing remoting
- How to run as a normal user and live a happy life
- Programming the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) in Visual Studio.NET 2005
