Abstract
Over the past few years, the usage of mobile devices to access data has becoming more frequent, and the
usage of mobile devices in the applications such as web-browsing, email, multimedia, entertainment
applications (games, videos, and audios), navigation, trading stocks, electronic purchase, banking and
health care are increased, therefore data security is essential and also it becomes a challenge in securing
the data in the mobile device. User authentication schemes such as Password or Personal Identllication
Number (PIN) based authentication in mobile device is a difficult process for providing safe access to
precious, private information or personalized services. To address these problems in the mobile devices,
biometric system can be developed which are more secure, affordable and memorable authentication
scheme based on graphical assistance, images and audio. We believe that biometric authentication is the
most secure approach among other authenUcaUon mechanism. This paper discusses the various features
of biometrics and mobile device security threats.
