“…Table 1 shows the comparison of the proposed system with the existing solutions. It shows that the proposed blockchain based mobile theft prevention system not only provides Anti-theft and tracking features, that solutions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] provides, but also preserves the user's privacy and data, provides security against malicious third-party, secure platform for transaction or Sale/Purchase of device and Transfer of Ownership of device. Therefore, the proposed scheme overcomes the problem in the existing solutions.…”

It is impossible to imagine our lives with smart phones or mobile devices. Mobile phones are not just a means for communication today, people use mobile phone devices for entertainment as well as business. We store sensitive data in our smart phones, perform digital transactions and lot of other things. Due to the portable nature, these mobile devices are easy to be stolen or lost. Since these devices are an integral part of our life and contains sensitive personal and business data, it is very important to prevent their theft. There are several solutions available to prevent the mobile theft, but they have some limitations like data security, leakage of personal information or misuse of data by a malicious third party. In order to overcome these limitations, we propose a blockchain based mobile theft prevention system. The proposed solution uses blockchain and smart contracts for authentication, storing user data and tracking of mobile device. By introducing the blockchain in the system, we make it much more secure from user’s privacy and security point of view. The proposed system not only provides security and privacy to the user but also a platform to make the sale/purchase of the device and transfer the ownership to the other user as well.

“…For factory reset through settings, user have to pass the biometric fingerprint authentication allowing access to settings and selecting back up and reset option in which factory reset is selected. User need to turn on the Wi-Fi/data plan and location service to proceed further and enter correct back-up code which will reset mobile device after 5 hrs when the number of attempt exceed 3, in 4 th attempt the front and back camera will capture the image, GPS co-ordinate and send to the alternate email-id [12]. In 5 th attempt phone will get switch off, to switch on the phone user needs to visit phone gallery.…”

Android Mobile devices are secured using various mechanisms like pattern, pin, and password. Biometric Authentication is an upcoming technology accepted by various android mobile manufactures for better security and with change in technology, time this mechanisms are vulnerable to various attacks like factory reset. Factory Reset will erase all the settings in the device and makes device vulnerable for hackers to misuse it. This paper proposes a mechanism to overcome against hard reset as well as factory reset through settings by allowing person to perform factory reset operation only after passing biometric authentication and using correct back-up code. Mobile device can be more secured by using biometric authentication with other factors like security question, alternate email-id, and authentication code generation algorithm.
