I don't think I would call Gutmann's book on Security Engineering "irrelevant."

Gutmann earned his PhD in Security Usability. He's written two books
on the subject. He also wrote a book on Security Engineering (cited
above). He participates in IETF Working Groups, and has authored a few
RFCs. I would not make the mistake of dismissing his work as
irrelevant.
