Samsung and South Korean transporter SK Telecom have declared the Galaxy Quantum 2, Samsung’s second telephone that features built-in quantum cryptography technology for expanded security. It’s the development to a year ago’s Galaxy A Quantum.
The Quantum 2 incorporates a chip developed by a company called ID Quantique, which says it’s the world’s smallest quantum random number generator (QRNG) at 2.5mm square. It works by capturing random noise with a LED and a CMOS image sensor. As per SK Telecom, the QRNG chip “allows smartphone holders to use services that require security in a more safe and secure manner by generating unpredictable and patternless true random numbers.”
Quantum cryptography RNG is viewed as extremely challenging to hack without extensive physical access to a given device. The advantages will appear to be pretty specialty to the average customer, however the QRNG chip does automatically work with apps that utilization the Android Keystore APIs, which should make the technology more open for developers. SK Telecom is touting local compatibility with any semblance of Shinhan Bank and Standard Chartered Bank Korea, in addition to its own administrations like T World. The transporter says it’ll work with more administrations later on, including Samsung’s own Visas.
The actual telephone has reasonably high specs, near what you’d have found in a very good quality lead telephone from a little while back. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, a 64-megapixel camera, and a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display.
The Galaxy Quantum 2 is just affirmed for a release in South Korea at the present time. It’ll go marked down on April 23rd.
