Abstract

Mobile technology has been through a rapid development during last few decades. Smart phones used nowadays have dominated the traditional phone sets in many ways and they have become a usual gadget in our day to day lives. In this paper authors explain the development and utilization of multitasking security app named "Droid Guard" for mobile as well as personal security. Four security features namely Amplifier, Emergency call, Location and Theft security have been discussed and explained along with graphical illustration. Such security apps can prove handy not only in solving regular problems faced by the mobile users and can also be a life saver in case of emergencies.
