Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP) - Layman's Series
At a big phone security event in 2018, experts said that RKP was the best Android security tool out there. There haven't been any major security breaches on Knox devices (phones with RKP) for a whole year!
Imagine your phone as a house. The kernel is the foundation of this house. If anyone tampers with the foundation, the whole house can crumble. Omerta Infiniti has built an advanced security system called Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP) to keep this foundation safe.
What Does RKP Do?
Some hackers try to find weak points in phone apps. If they succeed, they can then target the foundation (kernel) of the phone. Once they control this foundation, they can spy on the phone, steal personal data, or control the device. RKP acts like a watchdog, always keeping an eye on this foundation to make sure no one tampers with it.
How Does RKP Work?
RKP is like a security guard in a special bulletproof booth. Depending on the phone model, this booth is either built by a system called hypervisor or by something called TrustZone. Because RKP is in its booth, it's harder for hackers to reach it. It keeps an eye on:
- The foundation's structure (Kernel code).
- The important details of the foundation (Kernel data).
- The ways the foundation works (Kernel control flow).
Why Can We Trust RKP?
For the foundation security to work, it can't just be part of the foundation. If a hacker damages the foundation, they might bypass the security too. RKP watches from its booth and steps in if it sees something fishy, stopping hackers in their tracks. Plus, it's always on and works straight out of the box; phone users don't have to set up anything!
What's PKM?
Think of PKM (Periodic Kernel Measurement) as another security camera. It takes periodic snapshots of the foundation and compares them with original safe images. If something looks different, it rings the alarm. This helps in keeping the foundation (kernel) always in its best shape, just like how it was made.
Is This Really Safe?
At a big phone security event in 2018, experts said that RKP was the best Android security tool out there. There haven't been any major security breaches on Knox devices (phones with RKP) for a whole year!
In Conclusion:
RKP is like a top-notch security system for your phone's foundation. With the combined powers of hardware, software, and cutting-edge security research, Omerta Infiniti provides a phone that's safe, easy to use, and trustworthy, especially in situations where security is super important.
