Samsung Introduces Knox Matrix, a Blockchain Security System

South Korea-based technology company Samsung has launched a blockchain-based security system dubbed Samsung Knox Matrix.

According to the tech giant, this is a ‘revolutionary security solution for Samsung cross-device experiences.’ Samsung Knox Matrix is a control room linking all users’ devices in a single blockchain.

Announced at this year’s Samsung Developer Conference (SDC), this newly launched system aims to enhance the safety of a multi-device ecosystem.

The company understands that today’s lifestyle involves smart devices which range from smartphones to smart homes. Ultimately, Samsung has been able to concoct a means to connect these technologies as one. 

“while the device ecosystems we harness daily do make things more convenient, one can never be totally free of worries around the potential security threats that exist simply due to the internet connectivity of one’s devices. After all, if just one device is compromised, all others are at risk. Multi-device protection is the next battlefront for security and privacy,” Samsung stated

Hence, the need to ensure that this advancement in connectivity is well-secured and that users’ privacy remains untampered. Notably, the Knox Matrix has been approved and certified for use by many top government agencies around the world. 

Device Connectivity by Samsung Knox Matrix

Samsung Knox Matrix will put security into the hands of its users by giving them a ‘user’s own private blockchain system.’ All connected devices will be secured through a multi-layered mutual monitoring system. 

Also, “Samsung Knox Matrix will share credentials device-to-device and protect sensitive information even between trusted devices. Whether your Samsung devices are based on Android, Tizen, or other OS, Samsung Knox Matrix will be able to provide a unified security SDK.”

The tech giant reiterated that while the Knox Matris is aimed at ensuring the safety of all connected devices, it does not guarantee complete protection against all vulnerabilities within a user’s connected device ecosystem.

Earlier this year, the tech guru unveiled a new smart TV lineup that is integrated with a Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) platform.

The Korean multinational announced that this feature will be available on Neo QLED, Micro LED, and The Frame. With the NFT platform, users can discover, purchase, and trade NFT or digital artwork.
