Abstract

Smartphone becomes one of the most popular devices in last few years due to the integration of powerful technologies in it. Now-a-days a smartphone can provide different services as like as a computer provides. Smartphone holds our important personal information such as photos and videos, SMS, email, contact list, social media accounts etc. Therefore, the number of security and privacy related threats are also increasing relatively. Our research aims at evaluating how much the smartphone users are aware about their security and privacy. In this study, firstly we have taken a survey for smartphone users to access the level of smartphone security awareness displayed by the public. We also determine whether a general level of security complacency exists among smartphone users and measure the awareness of android users regarding their privacy. From survey result we have found that, most of the people are not aware about their smartphone security and privacy. Secondly, based on survey results, we have shown a method to measure the level of awareness (LOA) for the smartphone users. By using this method, a user can easily measure his/her smartphone security and privacy related level of awareness.
