Performance
The level of security and the system performance conflict each other. In order
to provide the necessary layers of security to avoid harmful attacks, the system
performance suffers. Each additional security measure requires computationally
expensive processing that detracts from the system’s ability to perform other
operations; all security measures are overhead for the system. The most dominant
performance cost is associated with encryption due to its computationally
expensive nature.
