Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has achieved a major milestone with its Samsung Knox Native Solution, a platform delivering seamless, government-grade secure communications. Certified by Germany’s Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) — the German Federal Office for Information Security — Knox Native Solution reinforces Samsung’s position as a leader in cybersecurity for governments and enterprises worldwide.
Setting a New Standard in Mobile Security
Traditionally, achieving secure communication on Android devices required complex solutions such as external SD cards, additional software, and multiple PINs, making implementation cumbersome and costly. Samsung Knox Native Solution resolves these inefficiencies by offering pre-configured, government-grade security built into mobile devices.
In collaboration with the BSI, Samsung has developed a platform that adheres to Germany’s strict security requirements while eliminating third-party dependencies. This innovation enables streamlined, secure communication for core functions like email, calendar, and contacts, integrated directly into Samsung Galaxy devices.
The certification by the BSI marks significant progress in simplifying secure mobile communications for industries such as public transportation, energy infrastructure, and defense. Samsung devices with Knox Native Solution can now deliver robust, tamper-resistant environments tailored for global enterprises and governmental bodies.
Advanced Security with Embedded Secure Element (eSE)
Knox Native Solution leverages cutting-edge security features, including the embedded Secure Element (eSE) — an industry-leading security zone integrated directly into the hardware. Key highlights include:
- BSI Java Card Applet Integration: Certified at the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+, ensuring world-class protection.
- Tamper-Resistant Encryption: Real-time threat protection and encrypted data storage.
- Third-Party-Free Environment: Elimination of external add-ons, ensuring seamless, cost-effective security for government-approved devices.
Streamlined Security Deployment for Enterprises
Knox Native Solution simplifies deployment and management, meeting strict security standards while preserving a streamlined user experience. Key benefits include:
- Single-PIN Activation: Reduces complexity for end users while maintaining high security.
- Minimal Setup: Organizations can deploy secure mobile devices efficiently, saving time and resources.
- Optimized App Evaluation: Updates require only new apps to be reviewed and approved, reducing re-certification delays.
By integrating seamlessly with Knox Suite, Samsung offers centralized management for enterprises, enabling efficient security control across large device fleets.
