Hello, guys! I’m a happy owner of Samsung Galaxy S4 and I’ve heard that my smartphone has enhanced protection for my data. The feature is called Samsung KNOX. I’m curious, will that really able to protect my data and the smartphone itself from mobile viruses and how does it work?
We must also mention that Google is a leader in the collection of personal information. In 2009, Google provided a new “custom” or “adaptive” search algorithm. Now, Google collects information about your previous searches, browsing history, and location to provide you with the best results and links that you will probably click on. It has led to the fact that if two different people on two similar google devices, they will get quite different results.
So, in this case, we will have to try to protect ourselves from tracking these drones and you can really do it. You will probably need a high-powered military signal jammer, which will ensure that remote-controlled drones will not be able to track your position. People themselves have to protect their privacy, even Benjamin Franklin said that a society, which gives some freedom to gain some security, will not deserve or lose both.
First of all we should mention that it keeps private and business data separately and both of those parts are encrypted with different encryption keys. If you like, you are able to turn on the whole file system encryption. As you know there are lots of mobile viruses for Android OS, and KNOX has something against them too. First of all it makes each app to run in a separate sandbox, so it won’t be able to harm any vital systems. But still you have to pay attention to the apps permissions, because its the most widely spread way to get a virus.
But the bad news are that KNOX won’t be able to protect you from tracking and eavesdropping with help of your smartphone. Also, separate sandboxes and encryption will slow down that gadget’s performance. Another problem here is that though all the data on your smartphone is encrypted, it can be still stolen and decrypted, it will simply take some more time. So, we’d still recommend to use GSM signal blockers for better protection not only of your data, but your location as well.
