The author has writen this book partly to correct a mistake. In his Applied Cryptography he argued cryptography, and, in general, technology was The Answer to protect every systems. The error of Applied Cryptography was that the author didn't talk at all about the context. This book argues that in order to understand the security of a system, you need to look at the entire system, and not at any particular technologies. Security itself is an interconnected system.
