 Abstract
Smart mobile phones are considered as the most important devices currently used in
everyday life, human beings use devices to save some personal and necessary
information either in work or in public life.

The aim of this study is to keep the mobile phone from theft or loss by certain
characteristics, such as locate it when loss and transform the situation to normal mode
to facilitate finding device location by making call, and many other characteristics
such as making a backup copy of the essential data.

After the implementation of the system and applying tests in many devices we reached
to several results, most notably result is enabling person to control his mobile phone
via a web page and to activate the services provided by the system by installing the
application in mobile phone and logging into system, this can make a backup copy of
the data, determine phone’s location, control the SIM card, diversion phone to the
normal mode and wipe private data in case of theft.

 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
Theft of phones has become one of the most widespread in the world of crimes in
spite of that the phone has become one of the most important sources in our daily
lives, which contains many of the confidential information, which helps to retrieve
this information in any place and time, but Equally, this information cause many
problems when the loss of the telephone.
Component-based software engineering is an approach to software development
that depends on software reuse. It emerged from the failure of object-oriented
development to support effective reuse. Single object classes are too detailed and
specific. Components are more abstract than object classes and can be considered
to be stand-alone service providers. A software component is a software element
that conforms to a component model and can be independently deployed and
composed without modification according to a composition standard [1].
The concept of the system is creating an application to backup data from device,
change mode, and other features based on android platform.

1.2 THE PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Tracking and find out the location of thieves phones is very difficult if you don’t
work in one of the communication companies. Also phone owners want to keep
backup confidential information when the phone theft and know who thief their
phones.

1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

 How to integrate components to form the final product?
 How to remotely control the theft device and SIM card?
1.4 OBJECTIVES:
 Track and find out the location of thieves phones.
 Backup confidential information when the phone theft.
 Change mode of device to normal mode.
 Enable user to control SIM card.

1
  Enhance and secure connection between android applications and web
applications.

1.5 SCOPE:
This research targets any one has android device, helps tracking and controlling
devices remotely when lost or theft.

1.6 THESIS LAYOUT:

Chapter two contains two parts; part one represents a general background about
anti-theft and its features, and part two is the literature review. Chapter three has
two parts; first part explains the tools and techniques used in this project, and the
second part is the project analysis and design. Chapter four represents project
implementation. Chapter five lists results and discuss. Finally chapter six includes
conclusion and recommendations .

BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE

REVIEW

2.1 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION

2.2 SECTION TWO: ANTI-THEFT OVERVIEW
2.3 SECTION THREE: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION:
This chapter includes two parts, the first part gives a general description of Anti-
Theft and its features, and the second one describes the literature review of research
project.

2.2 ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

BACKGROUND:
Anti-theft system is any device or method used to prevent or deter the unauthorized
appropriation of items considered valuable [2].
Android phones are now so prevalent widespread, become the best platform for
social networking and collaboration, people can track information on the fly and
mobile technology is the center of innovation, so we need for the anti-theft mobile
applications to prevent phones from theft.

2.2.1 Tracking:
Tracking is used for the observing of persons or objects on the move and
supplying a timely ordered sequence of respective location data to a model.
Tracking system is generally a system capable of rendering virtual space to a
human observer while tracking the observer's body coordinates [3].

2.2.2 Backup Data:

In information technology, a backup, or the process of backing up, refers to
the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the
original after a data loss event. Backups have two distinct purposes. The
primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or
corruption. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an
earlier time, according to a user-defined data retention policy, typically
configured within a backup application for how long copies of data are
required [4].

4
 2.2.3 Normal Mode:
Normal mode is a setting available in mobile phones that enables the
ringtones when it is activated. It allows the device to receive and send calls
and messages with sounds.

2.2.4 Control SIM Card:

SIM card is a smart card that gives a cell phone its phone number and
customer identity. Introduced in 1991 for GSM phones, most cards are
removable. Satellite and LTE phones also use SIM cards [5].
By controlling we mean two things; first is transferring balance, second is
locking SIM card, which means restriction the use of SIM card.

2.2.5 Wipe Data:

Wipe means making something clean by rubbing something on it. It is used
for preventing data from attacks when phone is theft.

2.3 LITERATURE REVIEW:

2.3.1 Control Mobile Remotely by Reem AL-
Raiah and Others in July 2012:
The purpose of this study was to remotely control phone by locating phone,
wiping data, locking phone, and specifying a password to lock the phone.
Results:
Important results of this study were control phone, locate phone, specify a
password to lock the phone, and wipe data.
Important recommendations:
1. The possibility of developing the application to include all android
devices and other devices.
2. Add new features to control the phone remotely.
3. Enhance and secure connection between android applications and
web applications [6].

5
2.3.2 Anti-Theft Droid Free:
The Droid antitheft application was developed to solve your problem if your
Android device is stolen or is lost.
How it works: If you misplaced or stolen your phone you can control your
phone via text messages to get exact location of your phone. This app
automatically activates the GPS and WiFi connection if it is turned off at
time of application the location of the device. Anti-Theft Droid app includes
alarm feature. And it identifies the exchange of phone chip, returning the
phone's location at the time of exchange of information In the new Chip
Carrier, IMEI, phone number [7].

Figure [2.1] Anti-Theft Droid Application

2.3.3 Android Anti-Theft:

Android Anti-Theft is a cool application for android users developed by
Snuko. With Snuko anti-theft applications installed you can have the
confidence that your personal data will always be safe.
How it works: With Snuko you can track location of your stolen android
phone using GPS, WiFi and cell tower. And you can transfer all important
data such as SMS, contacts, and call logs from your stolen device to new

6
 one. Snuko having other important features are SMS command, spy
camera, sound audible alarm, SIM card change detection and more [7].

Figure [2.2] Android Anti-Theft Application

2.3.4 Anti-theft Alarm:

Anti-theft Alarm is one of the famous and best Anti-theft applications
available for iPhone and Android users. In iTunes store sold out 1million
copies, now it is available for Android users for free. If you have Anti-theft
Alarm application in your Android phone there is no way for your phone to
be stolen.
How it works: If you leave your phone around or anywhere. This application
plays an ALARM OUT LOUD as soon as someone moves your phone or
touches your phone. The alarm will mute only after you enter your Secret
Pin. So no one will be able to touch your phone, change its place or even
look at its screen. Best thief prevention and extensive burglar alarm [7].

 Figure [2.3] Anti-theft Alarm Application

2.3.5 Total Equipment Protection:

The application is included with Total Equipment protection .Look to Total
Equipment Protection with the all-new protection app as your single source
for phone protection.
How it works: if your phone is lost, stolen or just stops working, this
application allows you to easily retrieve contacts, and transfer them easily to
your new device and you can lock the device remotely so your private
information can’t be accessed. The application website allows you to locate
your phone on a map and trigger an alarm, even if the volume is turned off
[7].

 2.3.10 Avast Anti-Theft:
This is a pretty decent offering from AVAST, and while it does mostly
what others do there are a few stand outs. For one, their website is very
well put together and easy to use, and you can lock your device with a
custom text message. So perhaps your address, your phone number or just a
healthy warning that you know where the thief is. Either way, this covers
all the bases and does so with ample amount of polish [27].

 Open - Android allows you to access core mobile device functionality
through standard API calls.
 All applications are equal - Android does not differentiate between
the phone's basic and third-party applications.
 Breaking down boundaries - Combine information from the web with
data on the phone to create new user experiences.

15
  Fast and easy development - The SDK contains what you need to
build and run Android applications.

3.3.1.2 Disadvantages:
 Security - Making source code available to everyone inevitably
invites the attention of black hat hackers.
 Open Source - Anyone can scrutinize the source code to find
vulnerabilities and write exploits.
 Login - Platform doesn't run on an encrypted file system and has a
vulnerable log-in.
 Incompetence – Google’s dependence on hardware and carrier
partners puts the final product out of their control [8].

3.3.2 Eclipse:
Eclipse is a general purpose open platform that facilitates and encourages
the development of third party plug-ins.
It is known as IDE. It provides tools for coding, building, running and
debugging applications. Originally designed for Java, now supports many
other languages.
3.3.2.1 Advantages:
 Code completion.
 Faster code/compile/run cycles (real time).
 Open source (free).
 Extensible (plug-in).
3.3.2.2 Disadvantages :
 Pretty heavyweight.
  Requires JRE.
 Difficult to Learn [9].

3.3.3 GPS Technology :

GPS is an earth orbiting satellite based navigation system. It is an
operational system, providing users worldwide with twenty four hour a day

16
 precise position in three dimensions and precise time traceable to global
time standards [10].

3.3.4 Java :
Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based,
object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation
dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write
once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform
does not need to be recompiled to run on another. Java applications are
typically compiled to byte code (class file) that can run on any JVM
regardless of computer architecture. Java is, as of 2012, one of the most
popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web
applications, with a reported 30 million developers. Java was originally
developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since merged
into Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun
Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from
C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them [11].

3.3.5 Web Technologies:

The following technologies will be used in the system in both server and
client sides.
3.3.5.1 WAMP Server:
The acronym WAMP refers to a set of free (open source)
applications, combined with Microsoft Windows, which are
commonly used in Web server environments. The WAMP stack
provides developers with the four key elements of a Web server: an
operating system, database, Web server and Web scripting software
[12].
3.3.5.2 HTML:
HTML is a markup language for describing Web documents (Web
pages), it is a set of markup tags.HTML documents are described by
HTML tags, and each HTML tag describes different document
content [13].

17
3.3.5.3 XML:
XML is a markup language much like HTML it was designed to store
and transport data was designed to be self-descriptive [14].
3.3.5.4 JavaScript :
JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most
commonly used as part of Web browsers, whose implementations
allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser,
communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is
displayed. It is also used in server-side network programming with
runtime environments [15].
3.3.5.5 CSS:
CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the look and
formatting of a document written in a markup language [16].
3.3.5.6 JQuery:
JQuery is a lightweight "write less, do more" JavaScript library. The
purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your
website. JQuery takes a lot of common tasks that requires many lines
of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps it into methods that you
can call with a single line of code [17].
3.3.5.7 PHP :
PHP is an HTML-embedded Web scripting language. This means
PHP code can be inserted into the HTML of a Web page. When a
PHP page is accessed, the PHP code is read or "parsed" by the server
the page resides on. The output from the PHP functions on the page is
typically returned as HTML code, which can be read by the browser.
Because the PHP code is transformed into HTML before the page is
loaded, users cannot view the PHP code on a page. This make PHP
pages secure enough to access databases and other secure information
[18].
3.3.5.8 Bootstrap :
18
 Bootstrap is a free collection of tools for creating websites and Web
applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for
typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface
components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions.
Front-end frameworks are toolkits that help Web developers create
the front-end, the visible user interfaces of Web pages. They do so by
offering many prepackaged user interface components (written in
HTML + CSS) and functionalities (written in Javascript) that the web
developer can then add to their own pages easily. They are generally
created in such a way that the web designer need not know how they
work, but simply must know how to integrate them into the page
properly. Bootstrap is one such framework [19].

3.3.6 UML :
UML is a general-purpose modeling language in the field of software
engineering, which is designed to provide a standard way to visualize the
design of a system [20].

3.3.7 MD5:
MD5 is one of the most widely used cryptographic hash functions
nowadays. It was designed in 1992 as an improvement of MD4, and its
security was widely studied since then by several authors. The best known
result so far was a semi free-start collision, in which the initial value of the
hash function is replaced by a non-standard value, which is the result of the
attack [21].

3.3.8 AES Algorithm:

AES is a symmetric-key block cipher algorithm and U.S. government
standard for secure and classified data encryption and decryption.
In December 2001, the National Institute of Standards approved the AES as
Federal Information Processing Standards Publication, which specifies
application of the Rijndael algorithm to all sensitive classified data.
The Advanced Encryption Standard was originally known as Rijndael [22].

19
 3.3.9 Google Maps:

Google Maps is a Google service offering powerful, user-friendly mapping

technology and local business information-including business locations,
contact information, and driving directions [26].

 CHAPTER 4

IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION

4.2 SECTION TWO: HOW THE SYSTEM
WORKS
4.3 SECTION THREE: SYSTEYM SCREENS
4.1 INTODUCTION:
This chapter contains two sections, the first section is about how system works, this
section shows important classes that are used in implementation, and the second
one is about system screens.

4.2 HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS:

This section describes important libraries and classes that are used to
develop the system.

4.2.1 Using the Apache HttpClient:

The Apache HttpClient library simplifies handling HTTP requests. You
retrieve and send data via the HttpClient class. An instance of this class can
be created with new DefaultHttpClient ().
DefaultHttpClient is the standard HttpClient and uses the
SingleClientConnManager class to handle HTTP connections.
SingleClientConnManager is not thread-safe; this means that access to it via
several threads will create problems.
The HttpClient uses an HttpUriRequest to send and receive data. Important
subclasses of HttpUriRequest are HttpGet and HttpPost. You can get the
response of the HttpClient as an InputStream [23].
In implementation we use this technology to connect android with web
pages. The class is called HttpRmi this class contains URL to web pages and
execution of requests. Requests are sent by AsyncTask class in android and
wait for response from web page.

4.2.2 Using the AsyncTask class:

AsyncTask is an abstract class provided by Android which helps us to use
the UI thread properly. This class allows us to perform long/background
operations and show its result on the UI thread without having to manipulate
threads.
Android implements single thread model and whenever an android
application is launched, a thread is created. Assuming we are doing network
35
operation on a button click in our application. On button click a request
would be made to the server and response will be awaited. Due to single
thread model of android, till the time response is awaited our screen is non-
responsive. So we should avoid performing long running operations on the
UI thread. This includes file and network access.
To overcome this we can create new thread and implement run method to
perform this network call, so UI remains responsive.
But since Android follows single thread model and Android UI toolkit is not
thread safe, so if there is a need to make some change to the UI based on the
result of the operation performed, then this approach may lead some issues.
So the Android framework has given a very good pattern which is enveloped
into AsyncTask.
The AsyncTask class has four methods:
1. doInBackground: Code performing long running operation goes
in this method. When onClick method is executed on click of
button, it calls execute method which accepts parameters and
automatically calls doInBackground method with the parameters
passed.
2. onPostExecute: This method is called
after doInBackground method completes processing. Result
from doInBackground is passed to this method.
3. onPreExecute: This method is called before doInBackground
method is called.
4. onProgressUpdate: This method is invoked by calling
publishProgress anytime from doInBackground call this method
[24].

36
4.3 SYSTEM SCREENS:
This section represents screens that are provided by the system.

4.3.1 System’s Main Screen:

The screen represents main screen to everyone visits the site. A user can login
or register from this page by clicking the button either for login or register.

 CHAPTER 5

RESULTS AND DISCUSS

5.1 RESULTS:
These following results have been obtained after applying the system in more than
one device:

1. Show device current location in web page using Google Maps by getting
coordinates from the device via GPS.
2. Secure the channel between android and Web using AES Algorithm and
MD5.
3. Send encrypted backup contacts to MySQL database.
4. Put the device in normal mode.
5. Wipe contacts from user’s device.
6. Transfer balance that found in the SIM card.
7. Simulate locking SIM card via sending message to administrator number.

5.4 AES Algorithm Performance:

Figure [5.2] represents that AES and Rinjdael provide the best performance, partly
due to the fact that they are purely managed. RC2, DES and 3DES are older
algorithms and in term of security not the most reliable so best to be avoided [25].

CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 CONCLUSION:
Smart phones become widely used in everywhere and everyone wants to save the
data and phone from lost.
This research and by Anti-Theft application a person can save important data from
loss and find the phone if it lost.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
To make the application more strong and reliable we recommend doing more tasks
that we didn’t achieve:

1. Run the application in different platforms not the android only.

2. Backup all storage of the device.
3. Make SIM control more powerful by achieving validation on transferring
balance and locking SIM card, also add more features.
4. Apply more security levels.
5. Switch the device on by booting.
