Samsung introduced a new service called Samsung Knox Matrix that it will ship with its devices. Unlike existing Knox security services, Knox Matrix will include a proprietary blockchain system that will help keep the smart home ecosystem secure.

You may know that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin work on blockchains to keep track of all transactions that take place. Samsung realized this, and Knox Matrix will help fend off cyberattacks by allowing devices to be connected to a private blockchain so they can track each other.

The company said the new system will protect against unauthorized access and make the login process easier. Credentials will be shared across devices to ensure security and protect confidential information. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t gotten into the technical side of things, so it’s unclear what data will be exchanged between devices to ensure security. He said he would discuss the design of the Knox Matrix in the future.

The company has confirmed that the Knox Matrix will work on a wide variety of devices such as smartphones, TVs and even air conditioners. With this announcement and its partnership with Google, Samsung offers a more mature smart home.
