Dr. William Stallings has made a unique contribution to
understanding the broad sweep of technical developments in computer
security, computer networking, and computer architecture. He has
authored 20 textbooks, and, counting revised editions, more than 75
books on various aspects of these subjects. His writings have
appeared in numerous ACM and IEEE publications, including the
Proceedings of the IEEE and ACM Computing Reviews. He has 13 times
received the award for the best computer science textbook of the
year from the Text and Academic Authors Association.
In over 30 years in the field, he has been a technical contributor,
a technical manager, and an executive with several high-technology
firms. He has designed and implemented both TCP/IP-based and
OSIbased protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating
systems, ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. Currently he is
an independent consultant whose clients have included computer and
networking manufacturers and customers, software development firms,
and leading-edge government research institutions.
He created and maintains the Computer Science Student Resource Site
at ComputerScienceStudent.com. This site provides documents and
links on a variety of subjects of general interest to computer
science students (and professionals). He is a member of the
editorial board of Cryptologia, a scholarly journal devoted to all
aspects of cryptology.
Dr. Stallings holds a PhD from M.I.T. in computer science and a
B.S. from Notre Dame in electrical engineering.
