details of NT security at the API level

If you want to understand the details of how NT implements security or need to build security into an application this book has the right stuff. This is not an administrators book. It describes the low level implementation of security in Windows NT. Great stuff. For an practical admin book take a look at Windows NT Security Guide by Stephen Sutton.

A must have for developers working with NT security

This book makes sense of the nightmare that is NT4.0 security. This book is for any developer who has to write applications that use NT security and finds the available documentation on MSDN incomprehensible.In the first chapter of the book the author explains the NT security model and each of the major pieces including security identifiers, security descriptors, access tokens, and access control lists.In the remaining chapters the author develops and documents a C++ class library that encapsulates the NT security functions. The class library by itself is worth the price of the book, as it makes using NT security easy. I highly recommend this book if you need to write secure software.

Security for Programmers

If you want to learn NT security APIs & programming, this is a must.
