Abstract: Developed by the Open Handset Alliance (visibly led by Google), Android is a widely anticipated open source operating system for mobile devices that provides a base operating system, an application middleware layer, a Java software development kit (SDK), and a collection of system applications. Android mobile application development is based on Java language codes, as it allows developers to write codes in the Java language. Mobile Development India has worked extensively on projects ranging from gaming software, organizers, media players, picture editors to go-cart devices and more. Most of the devices used in IT services are rapidly changing from PCs and laptops to tablets and smart phones. Since these devices contain important personal information, better security is required. Major problems could occur if the mobile is lost. So proper authentication system is very important. Different authentication schemes are available with both advantages and disadvantages. The authentication schemes must be made by keeping in mind the requirements of the users and the android architecture.
