i feel its biased when people say all the information of apps that are being installed in our System will be known to Microsoft..is it ok to know Apple the information about Mac Apps???
- nico 14y agoIf you don't jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, then it's pretty much the same, and even worse, because the only way of getting the software is through the AppStore.
- dutchbrit 14y agoAll information that gets sent to Apple goes over SSL v3, not v2 (just checked). This is the cause however with Microsoft (v2). V3 is a lot more secure than v2. However, I still agree, it should be asked if the information can be sent to Apple in the first place.
- itsbits 14y agoas far as i know SSLv3 more secured over SSLv2 on outside manipulations coz of hash of all old messages..
- dthunt 14y agoFolks are focusing on this point unnecessarily. Large scale real-time collection and cracking of SSLv2 is still out-of-scope for everybody, I suspect. Large scale MITM, though, isn't, through compromised CA's, etc. That threat is much more severe and affects basically all software that relies on SSL/TLS (whatever version) for securing a connection or the CA system for validating the authenticity of downloads. That's a much more serious problem. If MSFT is indeed not honoring opt-out of CEIP and other programs, the issue is them not honoring that preference. The particulars of the encryption built on top of a broken model are not the issue.
