An Algorithm for Improving Email Security on the Android Operating System in the Industry 4.0 Era

The world is attesting a tremendous change today, which is remarkably coined as industry 4.0. With several technologies shaping industry 4.0 epoch, notably, its cybersecurity entails the security of communication and network operations activities. The most common form of communication in organisatio...
