Samsung Electronica gearing up to introduce advanced and more secure security options to avoid threats that loom over the horizon.
The Korean tech giant has announced that Samsung System LSI has developed the mobile industry’s ever-first security chip equipped with hardware post-quantum cryptography (PQC) called S3SSE2A. One of the big threads in data security is the quantum computer which has unprecedented computational speed and has the power to shut down existing security systems.
After three years from 2030, Quantum computers are expected to become available only for commercial purposes since they put existing security systems based on public-key cryptography at risk of easy decryption, and new post-quantum cryptography solutions are needed.
The company’s new S3SSE2A chip offers hardware post-quantum cryptography and is compatible with protecting critical data on the phone from quantum computing threats, which could render existing security systems powerless as early as 2028.
Initially, Samsung said that the newly launched Galaxy S25 is the first phone with PQC capabilities and the credit goes to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. However, Samsung LSI now states that the S3SSE2A chipset is the industry’s first to deliver hardware post-quantum cryptography, but didn’t mention the Galaxy S25 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite in its announcement, this confuses whether Galaxy S25 has a PQC solution.
