Samsung launches smartphone with quantum chip for security
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Quantum 5, a variant of its Galaxy A55 smartphone that features a quantum cybersecurity chip to make transactions such as online banking more secure.
The new model was developed in partnership with quantum cybersecurity company ID Quantique (IDQ) and network operator SK Telecom and is only available in the South Korean market.
The new model integrates an IDQ quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset with the Samsung Knox security, authentication and encryption platform. Measuring just 0.1 inches on each side, IDQ claims it is the world’s smallest of its kind.
The QRNG chip generates unpredictable, genuinely random numbers to protect the login, authentication, payment, unlock and password generation procedures for phone functionality and apps. This includes securing sensitive information such as face ID and fingerprints used for identification and screen unlocking, and data stored on-device or in external memory.
