Samsung Enhances AI Home Security with Blockchain

Samsung is strengthening security across its AI-powered home devices by expanding its blockchain-based protection. In a recent blog post, the South Korean tech leader revealed plans to enhance the security of its AI home appliances by integrating blockchain technology through its Knox Matrix framework, previously used in mobile devices and TVs.

This initiative extends the Knox Matrix to a wider range of home devices. The framework uses a private blockchain to form a “Trust Chain,” where connected devices monitor each other for security risks, notifying users if a problem arises. This blockchain-enabled system helps create a highly secure home environment by preventing threats before they escalate.

“Trust Chain allows connected devices to monitor each other for security threats and notifies users of any threat-blocking actions,” Samsung explained in the announcement.

In addition to the blockchain layer, Samsung will enhance device security with its “Cross Platform” technology, ensuring uniform protection standards across various operating systems. Furthermore, “Credential Sync” will improve privacy by encrypting and synchronizing user data across all devices, enhancing personal data protection.

Samsung has also announced plans to integrate biometric authentication, allowing users to log into apps and services using fingerprints instead of passwords. This innovation will make security more seamless for users while protecting sensitive data.

The company plans to launch these new security features across key products starting next year, although no exact timeline has been provided.

Samsung’s embrace of blockchain technology goes beyond home devices. It has already integrated blockchain solutions into its Galaxy smartphones, which come equipped with a Samsung Blockchain Wallet. The brand also offers the Samsung Blockchain Keystore, which is designed to protect private keys and allow users to interact with decentralized applications (DApps).

By expanding blockchain-based security measures, Samsung aims to create a safer, more interconnected home environment while enhancing data protection and user experience across its AI and smart home product lines.
