Security Engineering

I discovered this Security Engineering book by Ross Anderson recently and found it to be quite good. If you're involved in any security work, it may be handy despite that it is 2 years old now.

Another book I use as a reference is one written by my friends from Sun, entitled Core Security Patterns.
