Samsung's KNOX mobile security platform has received security solution certificates from the China Information Security Certification Center (ISCCC) and France’s National Agency of Computer Security (ANSSI).

The ISCCC certification will give Samsung a better chance of getting mobile device contracts with China's regulated industries. The devices used in the testing for the certification were Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5.

In France, the testing was done with the Knox Workspace 2.3 and focused on dynamic partitioning.

Samsung has also received security certifications from the U.S. Department of Defense, UK Communications and Electronics Security Group and other governments.
