🚀 Samsung Integrates Blockchain in AI Home Devices
posted 10 hr ago
Samsung Electronics announced integrating blockchain into its smart home devices to improve security.
Samsung plans to extend Knox Matrix, its private blockchain system, from smartphones and TVs to home devices like the 2024 Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub™ and home appliances with a 7-inch AI Home LCD screen.
At the Samsung Developer Conference 2024 (SDC24), the tech giant revealed that Knox Matrix will enable interconnected devices to monitor security threats mutually and send notifications to users.
Apart from this, Samsung will introduce mobile biometric authentication to eliminate the need to enter IDs and passwords, reducing the risks of login information being exposed.
While smart home technologies have been seeing rising adoption, they present security risks due to the collection of large amounts of private data. Blockchain solutions like Knox Matrix can be a huge step towards solving this problem, as blockchain offers transparency so users can see who can access their data and how it will be used.
In an October 21 press release, the company stated its goal is to provide users with security and comfort not just through individual products but also through interconnected devices.
