Abstract :
People from across the world are switching from traditional cell phones to more complex and connected smart phones. The invasion of smart phone has revolutionized the way we live. The smart phone technology has become like a phantom limb for its worldwide users. But the problems regarding smart phone security and contact synchronization are yet to be solved. In case, you lost your smart phone or changed your SIM Card number, then all your friends lose connection with you. There is no way left to connect to your friends or automatically notify them about your SIM Card number change. Moreover, the theft of smart phone is turning out to be the fastest growing undetectable crime in leading metro cities. The manufacturers of these smart gadgets have shown least interest in solving this problem as they have been in designing devices that have reshaped how we live. In present scenario, it is highly difficult to identify and catch the thief. Thus, most of the smart phone theft cases remain closed or unsolved.
