1. Introduction
Now a day cell phone is not only for calling purpose but so many things
included in that. Because of waste usage, cell phone becomes smart with the
help of new technology. Now a day everybody have cell phone and it contain
users sensitive information. Smartphones and tablets have now become
mission-critical business tools for employees in all markets and geographies
around the world. This way security of smart device is much important.

Android smartphone pattern password store in gesture.key file and it is in

encrypted form. Normally we cannot access that directory.
We will simply store in text form like 4589This password will stored as
4L5L8D9L Then apply SHA1 hashing algorithm. Hash is a single direction function
so reverse process is too much difficult and finally we achieve strong security.
Algorithm of Proposed technique
A.Set Lock Pattern
Steps:
Start
Check for existent pattern
If exist then
Ask for draw current pattern,
Else Add new pattern
3.1 Start getting sensor value for
pattern
3.2 Temporary store pattern
3.3 Ask for confirmation
3.4 If conformed then
Remove old pattern and save new
pattern
End

In many embodiments, a process to use a combination of gestures including

glyphs entered in a touch screen (which may include single touch or multi-touch
capable touch screens), sounds captured by a microphone, and movements
registered by motion sensors may be used in place of a standard text-based
password for use with a mobile computing device. The term "gesture" will be
applied to any user entered combination of glyphs, movements and sounds that
the user enters into the mobile computing device through input devices.
Smartphones have a rich cocktail of features: an array of sensors, network
interfaces, and multiple radio as well as gigabytes of storage and powerful
processors. They are often within a meter of their owners 24 hours a day. In
fact, smartphones have realized many aspects of the vision of ambient
intelligence that includes.

3. Proposed Methodology and Implementation

Our propose method works only for Android device. To recognise gesture
device will be needed that recognise the gesture. In our case Accelorometer
sense the gesture. There is no requirement of any addition device or sensor to
recognise the gesture. We are proposed hybrid method for authentication.
Numeric authentication method is already there. We design our method such a
way that add numeric authentication concept in gesture authentication.
Combine those two concept and try to fulfil current requirement and design
efficient technique.
Our propose method works only for
Android phone. We have virtual grid
with 20*20 matrix, Gestures on each
cell have four possibilities left, right,
up, or down.

5. Conclusion
If we try to design more accurate system then false rejection rate will be increase
because no one can draw same gesture at every time. To overcome this thing
accuracy will be decrees but if accuracy will goes down then false acceptance rate
will increase and this is very dangerous for the system security. We should balance
those both values. Users gesture input performance improve with practice.
[Fig. Gestures of cell]

By using this way calculate number of cell covered by gesture. When user
try to unlock system and draw the gesture on phone at that time gesture
value match with database and then get access based on gesture value.
It might be possible user will not draw gesture on four direction but if he prefer
any corner then we must decide rule for that also I propose that angle
between 315 - 44 consider as Left , 45 - 134 consider as Up, 135 - 224
consider as Right , 225 - 315 consider as Down. So now user can draw
gesture in any direction it is automatically consider as either up, down, left or
right.
