Abstract
Smartphones are currently being produced with similar functions, shapes, and software. The foldable smartphone is a product that dramatically changed the shape of the existing smartphone. Therefore, it affects the functions and software. In this paper, we analyze the potential security vulnerability of current mobile authentication methods by dividing them into two parts, security vulnerabilities of non-foldable smartphones, and security vulnerability that appears with the changed smartphone structure. According to the analysis result, the classic and current mobile user authentication methods appears to be easily affected by the smartphone display structure. Finally, we propose an appropriate authentication method as well as the concept of security measures for smartphones with foldable screen. Our method shows that it is more secure than the conventional authentication methods in foldable display smartphone.
