Dear All, If you are an android smartphone user, please consider sparing five minutes to help us with some security research run by one of my students by completing the anonymous survey for mobile phone lock screen patterns usage below. The survey is completed through a downloadable app from Google Play Store. Android Lockscreen Survey With the emergence of mobile devices into mainstream usage, the importance of the security of data and applications stored on the device has become increasingly important, the first and often last line of defence against attacks on the device data is a user authentication lock screen. This survey is created as part of research into user lockscreen security habits in the Computer Science department at the University of Bristol. The questions are non-personal general demographical queries and user preferences on mobile device lockscreen security; the user is not required to input any sensitive data or actual password information. The survey takes less than five minutes to complete and all data is sent securely and anonymously to the server with no ability to trace data back to you or your device. The collected data will be held for a maximum of six months and will only be used by Gareth Knowles and fellow researchers at the Computer Science department of the University of Bristol. We have followed all University guidelines and policies for the research ethics and data collection. The final research report will be published on the web and freely available on request. The Survey App can be downloaded from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreensecurity For more information, to discuss any concerns or to find out more about the research, feel free to contact Gareth or me.
