Right idea, wrong book. :-)
Web Security & Commerce
by Simson Garfinkel with Gene Spafford
O'Reilly & Associates, 1997
To quote the WWW page for the book: "Learn how to minimize the risks of
the Web with this comprehensive guide. It covers browser vulnerabilities,
privacy concerns, issues with Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, and plug-ins,
digital certificates, cryptography, web server security, blocking software,
censorship technology, and relevant civil and criminal issues."

PS. I'm sure the book by Avi, Dan and Marcus is a great book, too -- so
buy both!
