Samsung Pay Security & Privacy
If it still seems to you that using the payment service is not safe and scammers can somehow use it to withdraw funds, we hasten to dissuade you from this.
The fact is that there are three systems that protect personal information at once: tokenization, fingerprint verification and Samsung KNOX.
Tokenization
As soon as payment for purchases is made, the system randomly generates a token (a special digital code). At the same time, the user’s personal information does not appear anywhere during the transaction.
One or another payment transaction cannot go through without your fingerprint. So, even if the smartphone is lost, it will be impossible for the finder to pay for purchases from someone else’s smartphone.
Samsung KNOX
The security system inside the device is designed in such a way that it can prevent any third-party hacker attack. It continuously monitors smartphone vulnerabilities. Even if the smartphone can be infected with malware, the card data will be securely encrypted inside the Samsung KNOX container.
