One of the most important things needed to be considered is how people protect their own rights, data and private information among the insecure environment aside from mobile technology. Thus, security becomes a serious and complex issue. Many techniques were developed and tested in order to ensure the reliability for users on using mobile devices and its technology over decades. Biometrics which represents something existing in every human being is used to identify individuals as it is unique. In this project, the review of mobile user authentication and problems, the benefit of using physical biometrics such as face, fingerprint, retina and iris and behavioral biometrics for example voice, keystroke and touch dynamics are defined. The practical attacks on biometric recognition approaches available presently are stated along with the future work of biometric authentication.
