Rohit Joshi, Arjun Bhadra, Adwait Vyas . Security Mechanisms for Android Devices to Protect Application Data and Provide Information about Intrusion Attempts in Real Time. International Journal of Computer Applications. 104, 16 ( October 2014), 21-23. DOI=10.5120/18287-9419
The amount of data being stored on Mobile Devices, particularly Android Devices, is increasing rapidly. Using passcodes to lock applications solves this problem to some extent but, this only protects the data and does not provide any information about the intruder's identity. This paper explores existing technologies that can be used to store the identity of the intruder and inform the users about intrusion in real time.
