Hefty Device Security
“Without security protections, there is no privacy,” or so says Apple’s updated webpage. After all, your data cannot be private if someone can simply compromise it. But Apple’s iOS security white paper reveals the multitude of ways that the company protects your digital security as well as your privacy, too.
To discourage brute force password cracking attempts, Apple entangles a device’s UID with a user’s passcode, for example. Apps on your iOS device are also sandboxed, so they cannot affect other apps or systems. Even Handoff and other Continuity features are protected by encrypted security keys. The security white paper is a long but eye-opening read.
