Samsung Galaxy A Quantum Is World's First 5G Smartphone With This Unique Feature

While the 5G smartphones are gradually making their way into the market, Samsung already has a few models that are available in select markets. Now, the company has come up with a unique 5G smartphone dubbed Samsung Galaxy A Quantum. The highlight of this smartphone is the presence of a quantum random number generator (QRNG).

The quantum random number generator chipset has been developed by ID Quantique, which is a subsidiary of SK Telecom. This chipset is the SKT IDQ S2Q000 and it enhances the security of the data in the phone using quantum encryption technology. This helps generate random numbers and create unpredictable secure keys.

The QRNG chipset comprises a CMOS image sensor and an LED sensor. It detects the light emitted by the diode and generates random numbers for security purposes. These random numbers are provided to services that need both identification and certification including mobile payments. The random numbers generate encryption keys and improve security.
