Android Lock Patterns
are up for a test. The password alternative that Google introduced way
back in the Android Mobile OS in 2008 is being stirred for the security
options that it can offer. These style patterns turn out to be more
predictable than we thought. It has been found that these Android Lock Patterns generally possess only a fraction of the complexity. According to a study fro research purpose on Android Lock Patterns
(ALPs) these patterns are comparatively miniscule than the
anticipation. The study reveals that the patterns could be subjected to
intensive attacks.
As a part of her study, Marte Løge a graduate at Norwegian University of Science and Technology
has analysed over 4,000 ALPs and found out that 44% of the ALPs
started from the top-left node of the lock screen. She further concluded
that Humans are Predictable!
