They put out a new paper [0] describing the security thread model they were working with, and this paragraph on page 9 stood out to me:
The perceptual CSAM hash database is included, in an encrypted form, as part of the
signed operating system. It is never downloaded or updated separately over the Internet
or through any other mechanism. This claim is subject to code inspection by security
researchers like all other iOS device-side security claims.
Could someone tell me how that inspection works? Are there researchers who are given the source code?
