Title: Samsung Knox Vault - Security Protocol
description: Samsung has officially announced a new hardware and software security protocol - Samsung Knox Vault. This feature is currently available on the Galaxy S212 series smartphones as well as other eligible Galaxy smartphone series. What is it actually and what is known about it?
This feature uses both software and hardware to ensure the best possible data protection so that no one other than the administrator can access it.
It is worth adding that Samsung Knox offers data protection on various layers, such as container, management structure, SE for Android, runtime protection and encryption, TrustZone architecture, hardware trust root with the latest and advanced security solutions.
How does Samsung Knox Vault work? What is its mechanism? Samsung Knox Vault encrypts all data first, so it won't be read by any other software or service. Important data such as PIN codes, credit card numbers, fingerprints and all other critical and personal data will be kept safe with the Samsung Knox Vault processor. All this data will then be transferred via the Samsung Knox Vault protocol to the Samsung Knox Vault storage. All data stored in Samsung Knox Vault will be completely isolated from other data stored on the same device and kept separate from the main operating system. Samsung Knox Vault can even withstand external attacks using tension and glitch attacks, temperature attacks and even laser attacks. It should be remembered that an attempt to remove the chip from the board will immediately activate the alarm and block the chip immediately. In addition, it also doesn't allow remote data access, so Samsung Knox Vault protects your data from both physical and software attacks.
