Abstract
Growth of mobile devices uses has favored the user experience with different digital platforms, from basic activities such as sending messages, phone calls, taking pictures for social networks, email, bank account management, and commerce. These are some examples of daily tasks performed from mobile devices, which makes it essential to provide security of information. Therefore, privacy of stored information has become a main point in the development of mobile devices. This article presents research about the impact that mobile devices have in people's lives and the presence of biometric systems in this kind of device. Papers related with biometrics on mobile devices were examined to find which devices have integrated biometric systems; in addition to identifying biometric features used to authenticate people and find out what mobile platforms were created for. It was found that the smartphone is the device with more biometrics systems, and fingerprints are the most used feature; also, that the Android operating system is the most widely used mobile platform for these purposes.
