An Application to Secure Android based Devices and Data

Abstract

The main aim of the project is to improve the security of android based devices using technique like MMS instead of SMS. Nowadays the use of smartphones, tablets and phablet have increased tremendously and there have been many cases of these android based devices being stolen. Many anti-theft applications have been developed which are not user friendly and these applications are not easily available. We put forward the new scheme by using multimedia messages instead of SMS and the use of camera (front and back) in the phone which would be helpful in identifying the thief. The application would be completely dependent on the multimedia scheme and the hardware component such as camera. After the software is installed in the phone it will store the SIM number and will continuously keep a track if SIM number changes, as soon as SIM number changes it immediately takes the snapshot and records the video in the background without letting the thief know about it and then sends a multimedia message on an alternate number and email id provided by the owner during installation. The advantage of this application is that it keeps running in the background without interruption and helps in catching the thief.
