Samsung and SK Telecom recently released the Galaxy Quantum 5 using a quantum random number generator for increased security,
Back in 2020, Samsung partnered with South Korea’s SK Telecom to produce the Galaxy A Quantum. On the surface, the phone was a rebranded Galaxy A71 5G with a quantum chip installed. Thanks to the laws of physics, the quantum chip acts as a random number generator allowing the device to support secure services. Just a few days ago Samsung and SK Telecom released the Galaxy Quantum 5. Unfortunately, this might be the most secure phone you can’t buy since it works only on the SK Telecom network in South Korea.
The quantum cryptographic chip used in the phone is produced by ID Quantique and it uses quantum physics to come up with random numbers that are used in the encryption and decryption of biometric data used to unlock phones and verify the user’s identity.
