Abstract

Cryptography provides a security backbone for most Electronic-Services (E-Services). Computer systems’ users trust encryption techniques and protocols as robust mechanisms that deliver the required security services. Therefore, security researchers should act proactively to identify and resolve potential threats in current security schemes in order to preserve this relation of trust between average users and Secure E-Services. This research paper aims to address some of the potential threats in order to urge scholars to take action towards discussing and resolving them.
