An American mobile security manufacturer, recently cooperated with Samsung to create a privacy protection case called SafeCase for the Samsung Galaxy S22 phone.
This protective case is very thick, compared to other protective cases, the biggest highlight is the security system, which allows users to hardware disable the camera, microphone, cellular network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC to prevent attackers from monitoring them.
The SafeCase case communicates with Samsung Galaxy S22’s Hardware Device Manager (HDM) to enable/disable certain functions and features.
The HDM on the Galaxy S22 is a security layer under the operating system with higher privileges than the operating system itself, allowing it to control the hardware by bypassing the operating system.
This means that even if a hacker attacks the Galaxy S22’s system, SafeCase can still disable the camera, microphone, and wireless. SafeCase appears to be very useful for private companies and government agencies, as it allows them to prevent attackers from spying on employees or employees from disclosing sensitive information.
The official press release did not find information on the price and release date of the SafeCase protective case, and it is not clear whether it is suitable for the S22 mobile phone or the S22 series.
