US Military Green-lights Secure Version of Android for Use by Soldiers
Andy Weir, Neowin.netAccording to Samsung, KNOX "addresses all major security gaps in Android", and the DoD evidently agrees with that assessment, based upon the results of its own trials, and opens the door for orders to be placed for KNOX-compatible Samsung phones and tablets to be ordered for use by personnel, including soldiers and other military officers.
