Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this project is to provide new technological secure methods for smartphone users who are not unfamiliar with information literacy. The most significant output is a method for enhancing security of inputting password on smartphones. Password identification on smartphones is enhanced by personal characteristics on flick inputs. The method requires no additional special device or special training for security. In addition, there are some more outputs which are a file access control method on virtual OS, a method for finding vulnerable web sites and a deterrence method of walking while on the phone. As a result, we found that deep learning was effective for the automatic classification of web site and deterrence was more effective than prevention for stopping walking while on the phone, while implementation on virtual OS was difficult.
