Original story as follows…
Samsung and wireless network operator SK Telecom have finally announced the Galaxy Quantum2 smartphone in Korea. The device has security features like built-in quantum cryptography technology, Snapdragon 855+ chipset, and more. Let’s take a look at its specs, features.
Samsung Galaxy Quantum2 security Features
Right off the bat, we have to look at the security feature of the Galaxy Quantum2. Just like the predecessor, the device has a QRNG(Quantum Random Number Generator) chip developed by ID Quantique. This is an integrated 2.5×2.5mm chip that generates random numbers by creating noise via an LED and capturing it using a CMOS sensor.
That is, it makes the device safer by generating unpredictable and patternless true random numbers. This technology is said to be immune against hackers or exploiters unless they get physical access to the device.
SK Telecom also says that the QRNG chip automatically secures the services including payments that are based on Android Keystore (APIs).
As of now, it supports the banking services of Shinhan Bank and Standard Chartered Bank Korea apps as well as other services like 11Street, T World, SK Pay, PASS, and T Membership. In the future, the company will expand it to financial companies like Samsung’s Card and SKT’s music streaming service FLO and video ringback tone service V Coloring.
