The objective of this project is to design and develop a secure mobile application authentication system using a combination of biometric verification and PIN-based authentication. The system enhances security and usability while helping students understand multi-factor authentication, mobile security concepts, and secure application development practices.
Study mobile application security challenges and authentication mechanisms.
Analyze biometric authentication concepts such as fingerprint or face recognition (simulation if hardware is unavailable).
Prepare Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and authentication workflow documentation.
Design system architecture integrating biometric verification and PIN validation.
Create database schema for users, encrypted PIN data, authentication logs, and device records.
Implement secure user registration with PIN creation and biometric enrollment simulation.
Apply cryptographic hashing techniques to securely store PIN information.
Integrate biometric authentication using mobile OS APIs or simulated biometric input.
Implement fallback authentication using PIN when biometric verification fails.
Develop secure session handling and automatic logout features.
Restrict application access after multiple failed authentication attempts.
Maintain audit logs for login attempts and authentication results.
Design intuitive mobile user interface following secure UX guidelines.
Perform unit testing, integration testing, and authentication flow testing.
Validate protection against common mobile security threats.
Prepare project documentation including architecture diagrams, flowcharts, ER diagrams, and test cases.
Deploy the application on an emulator or physical device for demonstration.
