Press touch code: A finger press based screen size independent authentication scheme for smart devices.

ABSTRACT: Due to recent advancements and appealing applications, the purchase rate of smart devices is increasing at a higher rate. Parallely, the security related threats and attacks are also increasing at a greater ratio on these devices. As a result, a considerable number of attacks have been noted in the recent past.
