South Korean electronics giant Samsung said it is improving the security infrastructure of its smartphones to increase the protection of user data associated with cryptographic software.
In a press release, the company announced the release of a new security element designed to better protect the data stored on smartphones. The new hardware is a turnkey mobile phone security solution called Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance (CC EAL) that can be installed on any smartphone. The statement notes:
"The new Samsung solution is a dedicated, tamper-proof storage facility that keeps users' confidential and cryptographic data secure. Pin codes, passwords and data to access crypto assets are stored separately from the main memory of the smartphone.
With smartphones increasingly storing sensitive financial data, such as passwords to access crypto wallets and sids, Samsung says security protocols must evolve. The company notes that new security protocols protect against various attacks and reverse engineering methods.
The new hardware solution has already been launched into mass production and will be presented in a series of smartphones Galaxy S20. Recall that in the middle of the month the company confirmed that the new line of smartphones Samsung Galaxy S20 added support for cryptovoltaic, including BTC, ETH and ERC-20 tokens.
