Abstract

Open source intelligent terminals have many advantages in intelligent smart phones with endless applications of intelligent terminals based on open source codes. However, there are also many security risks for applications using intelligent terminals. This study analyzes the login authentication of a mainstream Android application in today's market by reverse analysis. The security flaws for current login authentication mechanisms are evaluated to discover potential security vulnerabilities in intelligent terminal devices. An improved for login authentication scheme is then given which effectively improves the security of intelligent terminal systems.

Key words
