Multi-factor authentication for Android smart phone

Abstract

Smart phones are more and more popular nowadays, which leads data security to an extremely important focus. As most users store their private information in smart phones. Such as personal accounts, passcodes, private notes, pictures, videos and so forth. We also heard a lot of News that some people suffered economic losses due to the information stored in his/her phones was stolen. Even worse, some people will suffer mental pressure if their private photos or videos are being uploaded to the public. So it is important to pay close attention to the security of smart phones, as huge population is using smart phones with Android Operating System. Although some solutions do exist to protect users’ privacy, most of them are not effective enough to achieve this goal yet. In this project, more user-friendly, effective and multi-factors implemented android application will be developed to better protect the privacy of Android smart phones users.
