Tap Based Pattern Locking System for Android Phone

Computer Science & Engineering

The trend of the graphical passwords is rising and every year a number of new password schemes are being launched by researchers from the various parts of the world. Password patterns, as used on current Android phones, and other shape-based authentication schemes are highly usable and memorable. In terms of security, they are rather weak since the shapes are easy to steal and reproduce. Due to increased use of smart phones for every purpose including storing important personal data, they require a better security. Currently we are using pin lock, alphanumeric lock, pattern lock and some other locking applications. These days when talking about data security the applications currently being used somewhere lag to fulfil the requirement to some extents. This idea introduces a new innovation in the field of data security that is an application with improved features such as locking with the help of tapping some colours arranged in the circular pattern and shuffling every time when applied. In this work we are making more secured touch screen lock for android based systems by means of which user will get the facility to protect their password pattern guess by other people if the people monitoring while user unlocking their device in public place too.
