Samsung files UK trademark for crypto wallet
Seoul, SOUTH KOREA – South Korean multinational conglomerate Samsung has filed a trademark in the United Kingdom which suggests that the electronics manufacturer might be planning to integrate a digital currency wallet into its mobile phones.
According to the trademark application submitted to UK’s Intellectual Property Office (IPO) on December 27, Samsung may be developing “computer software for use as a cryptocurrency wallet” and also designing software for “cryptocurrency transfer and payment using blockchain technology.”
Although the trademark filing does not include any details regarding Samsung’s crypto or blockchain-related plans, the “Classes and terms” section of the application suggests that Samsung may be developing “computer application software” specifically for smartphones, tablet computers, and portable PCs.
Samsung has gone on record saying that the safest device available for storing digital currencies is the smartphone. According to the electronics giant, “spendable” cryptocurrency may be securely stored on mobile phones because they use a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
As explained by Samsung in a blog post, the TEE runs in its own independent execution environment, so that its persistent storage (normally a hard disk drive) and random-access-memory (RAM) are separate from a mobile phone’s operating system (OS).
The smartphone manufacturer recommends that crypto wallet developers restrict and control access to the private keys associated with users’ funds by storing them in the TEE. Per Samsung, this ensures that “security is seriously tight” as it becomes practically impossible for malware programs to gain access to a user’s private keys.

My Background
I was born in Seoul, South Korea, on 7 October, 1963 (there are stories about what life was like in South Korea in my youth in the Prologue of my book, Bad Samaritans). I came to the UK as a graduate student at the Faculty of Economics and Politics, University of Cambridge in 1986. I earned my PhD in 1992. I have been teaching economics at the Faculty of Economics (as it is called now) and the Development Studies programme at the University of Cambridge since 1990.
I still keep my Korean nationality, but Britain is now my second home. I am still not convinced by the weather and cricket (as a good short-tempered Korean, I don’t have the patience for a game that lasts for five days), but I have come to like HP sauce and Branston pickle.
I live in Cambridge with my wife, Hee-Jeong Kim, and two children, Yuna, and Jin-Gyu, who sometimes feature in my writings, but with no dog (most British authors seem to live with a dog – or three).
If you want to know find out what some other people think of me please visit my wikipedia page
Welcome
I’ve set up this website, in addition to my university website, for people who want to know a little more about me.
I am afraid many of you may be disappointed. I don’t do extreme sports, I am not a hi-tech buff, I am not a secret expert on 18th-century maps, and I don’t even do gardening. Unless you are mainly interested in my economics, the only thing that is interesting on this website would be the section, ‘Non-economists I like to read’ under ‘Influences’.
Still, please enjoy the site. It would be at least more informative and interesting than my university website!

#BR1 vietnam city resilience
The violent storms that swept over the Philippines, China, and the southeastern U.S. seaboard earlier this month were a harrowing preview of extreme weather events that are likely to become more common as the 21st century unfolds. Cities in the paths of the storms lost power, water, and communications. Transportation networks were blocked. Homes and businesses were destroyed. Many who were affected by the storms may have to abandon their previous lives. Like last year’s Hurricane María in Puerto Rico, the storms also laid bare the crucial necessity of effective governance for disaster preparedness and response. As cities grow larger and more complex, planners are beginning to focus on their ability to maintain the intricate urban fabric of interdependent systems, services, and social relations in the wake of a disaster, what they term resilience. This fabric of interdependencies includes not just basic infrastructure, but ongoing human needs such as...read more
