Samsung adds an extra layer of security to the Galaxy S25 series by offering a new Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to prevent future quantum computing threats.
This new technology uses advanced algorithms that are difficult for even quantum computers to break, ensuring data security in the future. The Korean tech giant uses the ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism) algorithm, which is based on complicated mathematical structures, to make sure that data is safe while also speeding things up..
Samsung Cloud will integrate this new technology into Samsung Knox Matrix to provide end-to-end encryption for user data. It offers a high chance of solving a complex problem across multiple industries, but it also poses a security risk.
Noticeably, its power-efficient algorithms could break the current encryption methods, jeopardizing data security. Quantum computing has yet to become widespread, so it’s crucial to act now to prevent “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where attackers collect data now to decrypt it with future quantum capabilities.
Samsung aims to protect user data as technologies, for instance, quantum computing, have evolved, and it is introducing Post-Quantum Enhanced Data Protection (EDP) to Samsung Knox Matrix—the company’s industry-leading protection for connected device ecosystems.
Currently, the feature is only available on the newly launched Galaxy S25 series, and it’s unclear whether Samsung will expand this feature only to upcoming devices or to older devices also.
