What is Knox?

Designed with the promise of security at heart, Samsung Knox empowers you to be open to new ideas and ways of doing business. We build the Knox mobile security platform into the hardware and software of our mobile devices, making Samsung smartphones, tablets and wearables among the most reliable mobile devices available. Multiple layers of security create opportunities for advanced management and control not possible without Knox. Enabling mobility software  and business services  that are not only simple, flexible and friendly—but also open to customization and innovation—Knox inspires freedom grounded in peace of mind. No matter where your team goes or what they do, Knox keeps hackers out and your company’s data safe from the second it turns on.

Multi-layered security: Many Samsung phones, tablets, and wearables are designed with Knox platform built into their architecture. This military grade mobile security platform safeguards more than 1 billion Samsung consumer and business devices. Offering multi-layered security, it defends your most sensitive information from malware and malicious threats. Explore each of these layers below.

Privacy for your Samsung device 

Data encryption: All data is securely encrypted by default, using a government-certified encryption module. In the event of device theft or loss, anyone who picks up your phone won’t be able to see what’s on it. 

Data isolation: Your personal data can be completely isolated in a secure place on device. This way, you can make sure to keep your sensitive privacy away from others.

Your data is always safe 

Samsung devices are always running in a hardware-backed trusted environment. They’re designed to block any attempts at tampering, from boot-up, runtime, and even when powered off.  Personal data on Samsung devices is protected from mobile threats such as ransomware, malware, and unauthorized rooting, even while you’re using your device.

Applications supported by Knox: 

Beyond mobile 

The Samsung Knox ecosystem continues to grow and is expanding to smart televisions, smart appliances, and other IoT and 5G devices. Knox technology secures these connected devices and appliances by implementing a hardware-backed security architecture that protects your device from the minute it’s turned on.

Here are some apps and how Knox helps in them:

Philosophy of Knox:

Chipset

The Knox platform ensures only approved versions of system-critical software are loaded. As the platform is built-in, the trust starts in the hardware, with unique certificates burnt into the chipset of each device.

Knox warranty fuse

With these unique certificates, the Knox mobile security platform can verify each piece of software that loads. If verification fails, Knox either records the tampering by flipping a one-time fuse called the Knox Warranty Bit, or prevents further booting. Devices with compromised Knox Warranty Bits cannot use certain Knox features or services, such as Knox Workspace or Samsung Pay.

Rollback prevention

Rollback prevention ensures that a Samsung device is not downgraded to an earlier, vulnerable software version.
