Security for network

hi there,
i'm wondering what are the good books out there on internet security, PREFERABELY all topics roll into 1 book
topics like firewall DES,3DES,SHA,SSL,CHAP,EAP SPAP,PAP,VPN,L2TP,PPTP,IAS,Kerboros,IPsec,PKI,digital signatures/certifcates,Denial of service,RADIUS,RAS,viruses,trojan horses,sniffer packets and network managemnt.
(basically anything that involves interent security/encryption and how to protect the network)

i know this seems big ,but i like it when it is in 1 book ,at least (or i hope the author trys to bridge the topics togehter ! )

i heard that there is this book called
a) hacking exposed (ISBN 0-07-212748-1),

b) Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice, 2/e by stallings (ISBN 0-13-869017-0)

c) this author Bruce Schenier soemthing like that

the security should preferably cover both Windows and Unix/Linux

comments?
any recommandations ?

I bought Hacking Exposed when it first came out, and I was amazed at the amount of information amassed inside... I have since bought the Hacking Linux Exposed, also a good read...

Keep in mind though, that they only cover what is known as of the publishing time - for example, the huge kernel hole found two weeks or so ago won't be in the book. Nor will the latest IIS worms...

is a good one, although it is now a little dated (2nd edition published 1995), the discussions are still relevant.


Anything by Bruce Schneier is also very good. His monthly <A HREF="http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram.html">Cryptogram</A> email newsletter is recommended reading for anyone interested in security.
