Abstract
The present paper proposes a biometrics-based authentication system for mobile devices running the Symbian Operating System. Mobile devices are becoming more and more similar to personal computers, hence they are also becoming repositories for sensitive information. In this context a more powerful authentication mechanism than simple passwords becomes essential. The paper describes a face recognition approach for mobile devices, discusses some important issues related to the practical implementation of the authentication scheme, and gives some preliminary results outlining the performances and the limits of proposed recognition system.
