Security on Mobile Devices Using Biometric Authentication

Authors(3) :-Krishnendhu C.M, Aiswarya Venu, Praveenkumar K.S

Mobile devices contribute an important place in society and other aspects of life. Most of the people inherit a weak traditional authentication mechanism, which can potentially be compromised and thereby allow attackers access to the device and its sensitive data. This problem can be undone by the implementation of biometric authentication on mobile devices, which can replace the traditional method of entering password or PINs with the swipe of a finger so that the phone can be unlocked and used. Biometric methods embedded in mobile phones include fingerprint recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, etc. Biometric technology performs individual authentication based on the physiological characteristics and behavioral characteristics. The aforementioned biometric security systems for mobile phones are not only making the mobile phone tauter, but they are also making the usage of cell phones easier and even more entertaining.
