Samsung launches new Knox Matrix security service: based on private block chain, supporting smartphones, TVs and air conditioners

CTOnews.com, Oct. 13, Samsung has announced a new service that will be pre-installed on the device, called Samsung Knox Matrix. Unlike its existing Knox security services, Knox Matrix will be integrated into the private blockchain system to help keep the smart home ecosystem more secure.

CTOnews.com has learned that Samsung Knox Matrix will allow devices to connect to private blockchains, so they can monitor each other to help defend against cyber attacks.

Samsung said the new system will prevent unauthorized access and make the login process easier. Credentials are shared between devices to ensure security and protect sensitive information. Unfortunately, the company does not do much in-depth research on technology, so it is not clear which data will be shared between devices to ensure security. Samsung said it would discuss the design of Knox Matrix in the future.

The company confirmed that the Knox Matrix will apply to a variety of devices, including smartphones, televisions and even air conditioners. Through this announcement, as well as the announced partnership with Google, Samsung is providing a more mature smart home experience.
