Samsung Galaxy A Quantum With Quantum Encryption Technology Launched

Samsung and SK Telecom of South Korea launched quantum encryption technology equipped Galaxy A Quantum. The phone is claimed to have the world’s smallest quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset that enhances data security on the device. The phone has a 6.7-inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED display and is powered by Exynos 980 SoC. The price of the phone has been set at KRW 640,000 (roughly Rs. 39,000). Pre-orders of the phone start Friday and it will go on sale on May 25.
SK Telecom said in a post that the QRNG chipset allows users to safely use services like authentication and payments on their phones by generating unpredictable and patternless random numbers. The phone generates encryption keys for the services based on the random number provided by the chipset to strengthen service security. “All services go through an encryption-decryption process when data is stored or exchanged, and an encryption key is essential,” (translated) it said.
The chipset has a CMOS image sensor that detects light (photons) emitted by LED to generate random numbers that are “unpredictable”. The chipset provides these random numbers to generate encryption keys that help protect users’ personal information. The company is pitching quantum security technologies as a counterweight against quantum computers that can be used to harm security of systems.
Apart from the QRNG chipset, the phone appears to be the same as the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. The Galaxy A71 5G was launched last month in the US.
