Is the app's data on the phone encrypted using the PIN? If the phone is found by an attacker which can access its memory, will bruteforcing the PIN slow them down long enough?
- brennenHN 14y agoOn the iPhone, all of the data on the phone is hardware encrypted using the device keychain. The Android app does use PBKDF2-derived PIN-based encryption to store the data. A rooted device would be cracked more quickly than an unrooted one, but the brute forcing process is quite slow because the hashing is iterated many times.
