In consort with the above elaboration it will further discuss about the possible attack
vectors in which it will include an attack tree that consists of attack surface and attack vectors.
And after identifying the above vectors it will suggest effective mitigation strategies for those
vectors with methodologies and security principles. Lastly, this paper will consists an ICA
reflection where it will describe how these application may help in future.
