For PKI, check out: "Planning for PKI: Best Practices Guide For Deploying Public Key Infrastructure" by Housley and Polk http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471397024/qid=1007480175/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_3_2/107-6458714-3717315 and "Understanding the Public Key Infrastructure" by Adams http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/157870166X/qid=1007480252/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_14_1/107-6458714-3717315
I've only looked at Housley and Polk (the chairs of PKIX) but Carlisle Adams is an active PKIX participant and a smart guy. For VPN, there's "IPsec" by Harkins and Doraswamy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130118982/qid=1007480363/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_11_2/107-6458714-3717315 and "Virtual Private Networks: Technologies and Solutions" by Yuan and Strayer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201702096/qid=1007480469/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_11_3/107-6458714-3717315 Neither of these books is wholly satisfactory. Harkins and Doraswamy is old and was always a bit thin. Yuan and Strayer is rather academic for my taste. -Ekr -- [Eric Rescorla [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Author of "SSL and TLS: Designing and Building Secure Systems" http://www.rtfm.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
