 <title>Security</title>
 
+<para>Security takes many forms in a computing environment. This chapter
+gives examples of three different types of security; access, prevention
+and detection.  Access for users is usually handled by
+<command>login</command> or an application designed to handle the login
+function.  In this chapter, we show how to enhance
+<command>login</command> by setting policies with
+<application><acronym>PAM</acronym></application> modules.  Access via networks
+can also be secured by policies set by
+<application>iptables</application>. Prevention of breaches, like
+trojans, are assisted by applications like <application>gnupg</application>, 
+specifically the ability to confirm signed packages, which prevents 
+modification of the tarball after the packager creates it. Finally, we touch on 
+detection with a package that stores "signatures" and then regenerates those
+"signatures" and compares for files that have been changed.</para>
