for IEC 818, ECP 1220	E-commerce Security: Weak Links, Best Defenses by Dr. Anup Ghosh of Reliable Software Technologies www.rstcorp.com It appears that this book is a good match for IEC 719 but sufficient time has not been spent on confirming how closely it fits the Course Outline for 719. (A review copy was received 3rd week in August 2000) At first glance it is "recommended" - though it is not so "text" oriented as the Greenstein/Feinman book.
