South Korean tech giant Samsung is set to expand its use of blockchain, revealing plans to enhance the security of its artificial intelligence-powered home appliances. In a blog post on Monday, October 21, Samsung said the new initiative expands its existing Knox Matrix framework, previously used on mobile devices and TVs, to a wider range of home appliances.
The framework uses a private blockchain to create a “trust chain” that allows interconnected devices to monitor each other for security threats, alerting users if issues arise. Samsung also aims to enhance security across all devices with its “Cross Platform” technology, ensuring uniform standards regardless of the operating system, while “Credential Sync” enhances privacy by encrypting and synchronizing user data, the blog announcement said.
Samsung plans to begin rolling out these features to key products next year, although no specific timeline was given. The corporation is also expected to integrate biometric authentication, allowing users to log into apps and services using their fingerprints, eliminating the need for passwords.
