Samsung Knox, the new safety assistant Samsung Galaxy

    In the past two years have seen a remarkable growth in concern for South Korea's Samsung smart functions applied to phones and tablets . The Samsung Galaxy S3 , Galaxy S4 , Note 2 and Note 3 have been the main banners of a philosophy that goes to make the technical muscle of the devices are justified in what you can do with it. In this context , the company introduced earlier this year Samsung Knox , a solution that emphasize the corporate side terminals highlights.

    Samsung Knox is more than an application, a security environment that is already available for some teams in the company. Specifically , in those Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung Galaxy Note 2 , Samsung Galaxy Samsung Galaxy S3 S4 and who have successfully completed the system upgrade process to version Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. If our case , we can access its functions in a way understood as a layer overlaps the layer that normally use Android .

    With this layer shields all Samsung Knox contents worked on it , so that would be inaccessible outside the Knox environment . And we talk about environment because this feature is to function as a secondary desktop - or rather , parallel - which would normally use in our smartphone. For instance , if you're using Samsung Knox and make a photograph , the image file can only be accessed from that environment. Those who try to search for it using regular Android menus could not find him , being hidden , encrypted under the domains of Samsung Knox .

    In this regard , Samsung Knox options as a security tool is geared especially to the corporate market . With an open session in Knox could make calls, send emails or web pages without a trace on the device. Just opening the session in Samsung Knox would be possible to look at the user's activity , but this would have to have the necessary security permissions , which are particularly well protected thanks to the resources of this function.

     The same would apply to applications. If descargásemos additional utilities for our phone equipped with Samsung Knox in open session in this environment, the programs you install only be available inside. Again, try to give applications with standard Android layer on the phone - we mean the TouchWiz interface , common in mobile Samsung - would be useless , as these apps would be housed in a container intended for such utility effect .

     Thus, in practice, Samsung Knox works as a dual desktop , where one of them is designed to block all content and activity that occurs therein , both departure and in data entry . It is a system that other manufacturers such as BlackBerry , have already explored. However, in the case of South Korea's proposal , the idea can be extrapolated to a type of audience that is not necessarily corporate cutting .
