Nowadays, computer security becomes a major issue for users and developers. Security experts and developers are working together to bridge the security gaps by the realistic diagnosis of threats. They try to find the best ways to apply reasonable solutions in regard to cost, time, and usability. The issue of security has become one of the Common Era concerns. Users are divided into two groups, firstly, computer users, secondly, internet users (website users).
