Looks interesting, but the name made me think it was a new API or something. Perhaps not the best choice (though cool).

- sebm 13y agoYeah I know, I'm terrible at choosing names, I started my developements with this name then by lack of better idea i've kept it.
- hclee 13y agoAirdrop can choose a device to share. Isn't Airdrop secured??
- sebm 13y agoIndeed the distribution of the ciphertext when using Airdrop relies on the authentication made by Airdrop (I think that's why Airdrop requires iCloud to be enabled, but note I'm not sure of that). However the encryption of the ciphertext and the keys used are independant of Airdrop. In the worst case a wrong receiver would be selected, he would have the ciphertext but wouldn't be able to decrypt it. edit: I think I've wrongly interpreted your question. Are you asking if Core Secret doesn't simply reimplement what Airdrop provides? If this is your question, the answer is no, the goal of Core Secret is to divide a secret between peers, each peer having a portion of the secret.
- rsynnott 13y agoAt this point, it's traditional. See CorePlot, for instance.
