- palata 4y agoActually, USB is generally a security concern (some corporations disable the USB ports in their computers). So there is a case to make for security by having more control on the data that goes over USB. But I don't think that it is about authenticating the cable. Rather it's about authenticating the accessory. Which I believe makes sense in terms of security (well Android doesn't do it with AOAP and nobody cares, but that's a design decision).
