Any matches are matched again server side to thwart this type of attack.
>Once Apple's iCloud Photos servers decrypt a set of positive match vouchers for an account that exceeded the match threshold, the visual derivatives of the positively matching images are referred for review by Apple. First, as an additional safeguard, the visual derivatives themselves are matched to the known CSAM database by a second, independent perceptual hash. This independent hash is chosen to reject the unlikely possibility that the match threshold was exceeded due to non-CSAM images that were adversarially perturbed to cause false NeuralHash matches against the on-device encrypted CSAM database. If the CSAM finding is confirmed by this independent hash, the visual derivatives are provided to Apple human reviewers for final confirmation.
They also fuzz this process by sending false positives I think?
- notquitehuman 5y agoIt doesn’t matter what they do after “looking for something to report to law enforcement.” Nothing after that makes it less invasive.
- floatingatoll 5y agoIncorrect. The objections here are threefold: 1) This is invasive. 2) Slippery slope. 3) Gets innocents arrested. Their solution mitigates #3 with review and mitigates #1 with blurring, and those mitigations occur and the point in the process where you claim it doesn’t matter what they do. Please don’t reductively dismiss facts that don’t support your narrative. Saying that it doesn’t matter is wrong and serves only to boost your particular viewpoint on #2.
- nojito 5y agoDisagree. What companies do now is much more invasive. (Indiscriminately scanning cloud storage)
