Moreover, in last decade WN has got wings and is growing at a tremendous pace as wireless network have enabled the industries with most promising things the mobility and the data accessibility over electronic media/platforms. Data is now availa- ble in fraction of seconds worldwide regardless of any geographical boundations. On the top of all it is reasonable and approachable to masses with ease [3] [4] [5]. This existing scenario of rapid network growth enabled the sharing of sensi- tive data of any entity among diverse stakeholders within or outside the organ- ization premises for analyzing purpose. This sharing of confidential data among multiple entities; enhances the chances that sensitive information later can be found at some unauthorized location as the data receiver might have misused the data.
