Samsung Security Policy Update APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Samsung Security Policy Update APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is e5f96940d451041448660541031ba74f.
