The first part provides a concise historical overview of software security certification. The second part gives an overview of relevant certification schemes, with a specific focus on evidence-based certifications. Moving on to the third part, the book delves into certification characteristics of modern composed systems, which encompass multiple micro/nano services. Finally, the fourth part concentrates on certification issues related to cloud-edge continuum infrastructures. - Overall, the book exhibits a well-structured and organized approach, addressing various aspects concerning security certification of distributed systems. The flow of the presentation is suitable, although it may benefit from additional explanatory examples throughout the chapters. For example, chapters 4 and 5 could be enhanced with references to concrete technologies that developers need to master when supporting DevOps processes or managing the deployment of developed distributed systems on Cloud-Edge Continuum infrastructures. Including more illustrative examples would significantly improve the book's readability, especially for readers who are not experts in the field and seek an introduction to it, such as bachelor/master students or even PhD students. - Apart from that suggestion, I believe the book is of high quality and well-crafted.
