Disabling end to end encryption is always “one configuration change” away, presumably by substituting keys. How closely do you keep track of which keys are used to encrypt Health data - which is end to end encrypted - versus photos - which are not?
- dannyw 5y agoIf Apple substitutes keys, then that is a detectable event (by jailbroken devices) and that would make news. This is Apple explicitly announcing they are actively backdooring all iOS and Mac devices, and using your CPU cycles to determine whether you should be reported to the government.
- shuckles 5y agoNot really. Key management is done by the SEP, which can’t be introspected. And again, database updates take an iOS update so the back door threat is the exact same.
- Hackbraten 5y ago> database updates take an iOS update macOS already supports silent database updates, for example for Gatekeeper and MRT signatures. Why wouldn’t Apple use this feature on iOS, too?
- shuckles 5y agoBecause it’s bad for privacy.
- Hackbraten 5y agoWhat do you mean by that?
