The widespread adoption of smartphones has replaced desktop computers and laptops as the first component of the computer, due to mobility, regular communication and application versatility. Mobile devices include extensive data storage including sensitive objects such as verification credentials, photos, videos, personal information, activity details, and much more. Therefore, protecting data stored on mobile devices becomes a serious problem. In this update, we are investigating the safety of the Android storage model between 2013 and 2018. Several threats are found in literature that can be classified as physical or software threats. Interest in the blockchain has hit the top levels recently. While most of the buzz has been around for blockchain use like cryptocurrencies and ICOs, the technology itself is exciting. The blockchain provides democratized trust and authentication protocols that have already disrupted banking and are at risk of adding health care, financial services, social apps and more. We use BlockChain and IPFS to store Hash values and files, secure file transfers can also be obtained.
