According to foreign media reports, Samsung announced that the new Tizen smart TV will be harder to crack and safer than its predecessor. The company created Gaia to protect the security of new 2016 smart TVs, just as Knox did on smartphones. Some functions, such as locking your credit card information through smart phone-style PIN passwords, encrypting data and sending it, and also built an anti-malware system to protect user information security.
In addition, Samsung also stated that the new smart TVs that will be introduced in 2016 will use physical encryption chips when shipping, so that other people will have difficulty accessing your microphones and cameras.
Samsung has placed a large amount of bets on the Internet, hoping to recoup some of the lost profits and hopes that television will become the core of this strategy. It believes that people want to sit on comfortable sofas without having to look through their eyes and that they can easily control the light bulb, thermostat, and garage door. If Samsung is known for its smart TV is easily cracked, then Samsung's smart TV products can hardly become the largest seller on the market.
The issue of security in smart TVs has been an issue of concern to the entire industry, especially after some companies such as Vizio caught up with the cheerful and relaxed policy. Earlier this year, some security researchers found that smart TV companies didn't bother users' personal information security. Because some people will track your viewing habits, even if you don't watch live, it can easily come into your home through illegal channels. It is hoped that other companies will also be able to lock their TVs in this way so as to protect their users' lives in 2016.
