From the Paper:

"In a world with no threat of fraud, burglary and terrorism, there would be no need of security measures to be taken and complex security systems to be installed. This world can become a better place to live without arms, ammunitions and various other destructive weaponries developed by several nations for their "security". However, it is very unfortunate to note that in the real world there are numerous frauds, burglaries and several other criminal activities everyday. With the development of technology especially in the areas of computer science and information technology, several new tools and systems are developed by organizations so that they can improve their security systems. The current security challenges have forced the authorities to adopt aggressive tactics to increase security. With a rise in the security concerns and threats to individuals as well as organizations, several technological developments are made in order to ensure security."
