About the Reviewers

Alun Jones (MVP, MCP) is the President of Texas Imperial Software (http://www.wftpd.com). Texas Imperial Software develops secure networking software and provides security engineering consulting services. Texas Imperial Software's flagship product is WFTPD Pro, a secure FTP server for Windows, written entirely by Alun.

Alun entered the security field as more and more of WFTPD's support needs indicated that few companies were able to meet their needs for security on the Internet without help. His current day job is as a Security Engineer for an online retailer.

The Information Security-related blog, Tales from the Crypto (http://msmvps.com/blogs/alunj) carries Alun's occasional thoughts on the topic of Computer Security.

Alun has attended University at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and Bath University, and now lives near Seattle, Washington with his wife Debbie and son Colin, both of whom he now wishes to thank for their patience in allowing him to review this book.
