Samsung Knox Vault takes a step further and it makes sure that the sensitive data stored on the smartphone does not leave your phone.

How Does Samsung Knox Vault Works?

Samsung Knox Vault first encrypts all the data, so, it will not be readable by any other software or service. Important data like PINs, credit card numbers, fingerprints, and all the other critical and personal data will be kept safe using the Samsung Knox Vault processor. All this data will then be transferred using Samsung Knox Vault protocol to Samsung Knox Vault storage.

All the data stored on the Samsung Knox Vault Storage will be completely isolated from the other data stored on the same device and kept separate from the main operating system. Samsung Knox Vault can even withstand external attacks by using voltage and glitch attacks, temperature attacks, and even laser attacks.

If one tries to remove the chip from the board, it triggers the alarm and blocks the chip immediately. Additionally, it also won't allow remote access of data, so, the Samsung Knox Vault protects data from both physical and software attacks.
