I used four books to study for the exam:
Shon Harris' "All In One" is a great source. Easy to read without a lot of the
technical terminology.
The "CISSP Study Guide" by Cybex is also a good book. Also easy to read.
The "Official ISC2 CISSP Prep Guide" is full of all the information you need to
pass the exam, but is written from a very techincal stand point making it a
hard read. In my opinion though, it does give the most information regarding
Cryptography.
The other book I used was the Mike Myers CISSP Passport. This book is a good
one to use as a refresh just prior to taking the exam. It explains all the
domains, but doesn't go into much detail on any of them.
In addition to the books, I would recommend using the practice exams available
(for free) at www.cccure.org. They allow you to test your knowledge in
individual domains or multiple domains. It also allows you to select the level
of difficulty for the questions (I recommend Pro).
Though it is important to know each of the domains, it is more important that
you UNDERSTAND each of the domains. This exam is not one in which you can just
regurgitate the information. To successfully pass the exam, you will need to
understand the information, in order to understand ehat the questions are
asking!
One final note: Be sure to read the ENTIRE question before trying to answer
it. I remember many of the questions contained a lot of superfluous
information that I needed to
weed out before I could decypher what the question was asking.
