Samsung has announced a new stack of details regarding its upcoming One UI 8 update, particularly in the security and privacy updates.
The main highlight is gonna be the Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), which is their new system architecture tailored for safeguarding AI-powered personalization features.
KEEP creates app-specific encrypted storage environments within the device’s secure zone, ensuring that sensitive insights like routines, preferences, and usage data remain isolated and strictly under user control.
It supports the Galaxy Personal Data Engine (PDE), powering features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery Search, while leveraging the robust Knox Vault hardware to shield critical data from tampering or unauthorized access.
KEEP’s system-level design is scalable across a variety of AI services, including Smart Suggestions and Now Brief, anchoring a broader shift in how mobile AI operates privately and securely on-device.
On the other hand, they are also enhancing Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive protection for Galaxy users, and one of the ways to do it is “auto sign out” where if a device is flagged for serious compromise, such as identity forgery or system tampering, Knox Matrix will automatically sign the device out of the Samsung Account, preventing unauthorized access to cloud-based services and cutting off the potential for lateral attacks across connected devices.
Users will also be notified across all their Galaxy devices and directed to a centralized “Security Status” dashboard to investigate and take action. Even devices that lack the latest security updates can trigger early warning alerts, offering a layered and anticipatory security posture across the entire Galaxy ecosystem.
Lastly, Secure Wi-Fi will be post-quantum cryptography-resistant thanks to Post-Quantum Enhanced Data Protection (EDP) that shields users from “harvest now, decrypt later” threats anticipated in the quantum computing era.
Alongside this future-ready encryption, Secure Wi-Fi now includes:
- Auto Protect, which activates in public hotspots to automatically encrypt traffic;
- Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP), which anonymizes device data using layered routing;
- Protection Activity, a new logging feature that shows what was secured and how much data was protected over time.
