The identity authentication of the user can also be done with the behavioral characteristics of typing rhythm, gait, and voice. Biometric security is the best authentication solutions to raise the bar of security in the mobile environment. There are various methods of biometric authentication in the mobile phones which can ensure high level security to its users.
