Aims and GoalsThe dependence of people on electronic systems (e-systems) has increased tremendously in recent years.Examples of e-systems include stand-alone computers, wired and wireless networks, cellular telephony networks, corporate web sites, electronic service, e-commerce and e-payment systems, e-government systems and so on.Many corporations and businesses rely heavily on the effective, proper and secure operation of e-systems.In most cases, such systems are used for storing, transmitting and exchanging sensitive and confidential information on marketing, credit records, income tax, trade secrets and so on.The access of such data by unauthorized users may entail loss of money or release of confidential information to competitors or enemies.Moreover, one would desire that security is provided in an e-system in a cost-efficient manner.Therefore, the need to efficiently secure e-systems is vital for the success of any enterprise.
