I scarcely know of a book that even remotely attempts to tackle
those issues without going into some technical detail. However, the books
that I recommend to newly-interested parties that start out at a "light"
level and then get serious are as follows.
For a broad overview, I generally recommend:
"Computer Security Basics," Russell & Gangemi - O'Reilly Books
For practical information:
"Practical Unix & Internet Security," Garfinkel & Spafford -
O'Reilly Books.
"Internet Cryptography," Smith, Rick - Addison Wesley
"PGP: Pretty Good Privacy," Garfinkel - O'Reilly Books
