A distinction in phrase only.
- gozur88 11y agoNot true. To say something has a "back door" is to imply security was deliberately compromised by the manufacturer, whereas a vulnerability is a security weakness in the the architecture or implementation. This is not a "back door". It's just not.
- frankzinger 11y agoI get what you're saying but it would have made more sense had Apple not added the Secure Enclave to newer iPhones. I.e. they tried to make it more secure, so I have to conclude that they had tried their best with the older versions, too.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoA simple flow chart or state diagram would show the vulnerability. I'm not saying it was intentional, but I believe the backdoor label can be applied to accidental entrances as well. The bottom line is that Apple produced a device whose security features could be circumvented.
