Society is becoming increasingly dependent on the internet and so does it become more and more vulnerable to harmful threats. These threats are becoming vigorous and continuously evolving. These threats distorts the authenticity of data transmitted through the internet. As we all completely or partially rely upon this transmitted data, hence, its authenticity needs to be preserved.
