Samsung, along with South Korean carrier SK Telecom introduced a new 5G smartphone named Galaxy A Quantum.
The Samsung Galaxy A Quantum is the first 5G smartphone with the quantum random number generator (QRNG) SKT IDQ S2Q000 chipset. This was developed in ID Quantique, SK Telecom’s Switzerland-based subsidiary.
The chipset uses quantum encryption technology to generate, well random numbers which in turn creates unpredictable secure keys. It does so by utilizing an LED and a CMOS image sensor. The latter detects the light and generates random numbers. The numbers are used for services that require identification and certification like mobile payment apps.
