Modern Authentication Techniques in Smart Phones: Security and Usability Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
A smartphone has more advanced computing ability and connectivity than basic featured phones. Presently, we are moving from the Internet society to a mobile society where more and more access to the information is required. This has resulted in a mobile security which is no longer immanent, but imperative. Smartphone authentication has received substantial attention of the research community for the past several years because there have been modern developments beyond the classical PINs and passwords making user authentication more challenging. In this paper, we critically analyze the attacks and the vulnerabilities in smartphones’ authentication mechanisms. A comparative analysis of different authentication techniques along with the usage of the different authentication methods is discussed which lead the end-user towards choosing the most suitable and customizable authentication technique.
