The Knox Journals The Passwordless Future
September 10, 2024Staying productive has never been easier, thanks to our connected devices. From smartphones to smart homes, our lives are more connected than ever. However, with this increased connectivity comes the growing concern over data and device security. Samsung is committed to giving you peace of mind with solutions like Knox Vault, passkeys, and Knox Matrix to protect your digital life.
Knox Vault
At Samsung, we continuously innovate to strengthen the security of our devices. Knox Vault is a key example, combining a secure processor and secure memory to safeguard your most sensitive data—such as PINs, passwords, and biometrics—from the rest of your device. This extra layer of protection ensures that no one can access your data, whether physically or remotely. As we expand Knox Vault to more devices, you can trust that Samsung’s security measures will evolve, keeping your personal information safe across your entire ecosystem.
Passkeys
As we navigate a growing device ecosystem, managing multiple passwords for apps and websites has become a hassle. Passkeys, enabled by Knox Matrix on Galaxy smartphones and tablets, provide a secure and convenient alternative. With passkeys, you can log into apps and websites using Samsung Pass in Samsung Wallet with biometric authentication like fingerprints. This eliminates the need to remember or reset passwords while maintaining strong security. Passkeys offer a faster, easier, and more secure way to access your accounts, and they only work with registered websites and apps, protecting you from phishing attacks.
Knox Matrix
In today’s hyperconnected world, where phones, TVs, and even refrigerators are all linked, securing a single device is no longer enough. That’s where Knox Matrix comes in, Samsung’s next step in security. This system acts as a private blockchain for your devices, with intelligent threat monitoring across all connected devices. Through Credential Sync, Knox Matrix securely transfers your data between devices, ensuring encrypted logins and protecting your entire ecosystem.
Knox Matrix also includes Trust Chain, where your connected devices monitor each other for security threats, alerting you if a breach occurs and taking action to block it. The Cross-Platform SDK ensures that devices running on different operating systems, such as Android, Tizen, or Windows, meet consistent security standards.
With Samsung Galaxy, you can confidently embrace the connected world, knowing that Knox Vault, Knox Matrix, and passkeys are protecting your digital experience. As we move toward a passwordless future, Samsung’s security innovations will ensure you stay secure every step of the way.
