Rating:  - ALERT - This is a must have book!!
You really are not a true .NET Programmer until you understand the security mechanisms that are part and parcel with the framework. To program in .NET (or really any component-oriented technology) without security in mind is like parachuting without one strapped to your back.
I was waiting for a book like this. Before this book I've had to scour over the internet to try to find out how to get the different areas of security in .NET to work. Now it's all here in one book. The theory, the explanations, the warnings, the samples. If you are a serious .NET programmer or .NET policy administrator then this is a must have book. If you don't know the difference between "host evidence" and "assembly evidence", then you need this book. If you don't know the difference between a "security demand" and a "permission request", then you are dangerous to the people you do work for.
Also, make sure you know the basics already of the language and the framework since this book assumes you do. Good luck.
Rating: - A well written book - covers evrything
Another good book from ORielly - the .NET series is excellent. This book is the best security book available. It is easy to read and contains lot of examples. There is a lot of crryptography, which is especially well covoered.
