Samsung launched its second generation security chip for mobile device .Dubbed the S3FV9RR, the new Secure Element (SE) chip offers even more protection than the S3K250AF SE chip found in Galaxy S20 phones. The new chip also has a higher level certification.
The S3FV9RR chip is the Evaluation Guarantee Level (EAL) 6+ certified by Common Criteria (CC), an international standard that certifies the security level of IT products. CC EAL ratings range from EAL1 to EAL7, with seven being the safest.
The CC EAL 6+ rating received by the new Samsung chip is the highest that a mobile component has ever received. S3K250AF, announced in early February, has been CC EAL 5+ certified.
"With the new standalone security solution (S3FV9RR), Samsung is putting a strong lock on smart devices to protect private information," said Dongho Shin, senior vice president of LSI marketing systems at Samsung.
Samsung's second-generation security solution will be available on its own with the SE chip and enhanced security software. Protects your device against software and hardware attacks to keep all forms of user data safe.
The company says it offers protection for tasks such as startup, remote storage, mobile payment, among other applications. It can also be used for electronic passports and hardware wallets for cryptocurrency.
Samsung offers dual security settings in its second-generation security. It also supports tool-based root of trust (RoT), security footwear, and device authentication features.
When running a machine, an optional authentication chain and every firmware is activated with the approved key. This safe booting system protects the device from any possible malicious attacks or unauthorized software updates.
Samsung says the new SE can operate independently from the security features of the main device.
This makes it a very effective solution, as it extends the security of the devices to every level. It protects devices manufactured in off-site from unauthorized programs.
This knowledge can be found using smartphones, IoT applications, and other devices. Samsung also claims that the solution meets the "hardware Security module requirements for cryptographic operations as outlined by the future as a portable operating system," which may be Android 11.
Samsung's new security solution will be available in the third quarter of this year. So there's a good chance that it'll debut with the Galaxy Note 20 series. The upcoming Note flagships, as well as the second-generation Galaxy Fold, should launch sometime in August.
