Here is the Arabic translation of Apple's recent updates regarding encryption and security:
š Apple CryptoKit and Swift Crypto
Apple introduced the CryptoKit library to facilitate the implementation of cryptographic operations such as hashing, key generation, and encryption, while maintaining the highest security standards when handling sensitive data.
Apple has also launched an open-source Swift Crypto library, which allows the use of the same CryptoKit interfaces on non-Apple systems.
š± iMessage Security Enhancements
Apple introduced the new PQ3 protocol in the iMessage app to counter potential threats from quantum computing, raising the security level against advanced future attacks.
ā ļø Claims about a vulnerability in iMessage
In April 2024, Trust Wallet issued a warning regarding a "Zero-Day" vulnerability in iMessage that could allow attackers to compromise iPhones without user interaction.
However, later, security experts and media questioned the validity of these claims, given the lack of conclusive evidence.
šµļø Operation Triangulation: A complex attack on iOS
In 2023, a complex cyberattack known as Operation Triangulation was revealed, targeting iOS devices via malicious iMessage messages that exploited previously undiscovered vulnerabilities, leading to the execution of malicious code without the user's knowledge.
Apple has patched these vulnerabilities in subsequent iOS updates.
š§Ŗ Developer tools and access to Secure Enclave
App developers raised questions about direct access to the Secure Enclave unit, but as of iOS 17.4, direct access remains limited and is done indirectly through interfaces like SecureElementPass.
š§¼ Recommendations for users
Stay updated: Regularly update your device to receive the latest security patches.
Be cautious: Do not open unknown links or messages, even within trusted apps like iMessage.
Follow official channels: Always rely on Apple's official sources for accurate information.
