In the age of digital revolution, more users access services and electronically transfer information which is generally dispersed over insecure networks and administered by websites and databases. This is circulated in the absence of proper security protection tools and devices, which may have an impact on both the users’ trust as well as the reputation of the system’s stakeholders. Designing and implementing security enhanced systems is of vital importance.
