Abstract:
The usage of smart phones among people is increasing rapidly. With the phenomenal growth of smart phone use, smart phone theft is also increasing. This paper proposes a model to secure smart phones from data loss even when the phone was stolen by someone and also it provides options to access a smart phone through other smart phone via Short Message service (SMS). The data loss can be prevented by retrieving the important data from the phone such as contacts, word documents and media files. This paper also includes the location identification of the theft mobile phone when the call is made through the mobile phone after the Subscriber Identity Module(SIM) was changed in that mobile phone.
