Η Apple ανακοινώνει E2E σε όλες τις υπηρεσίες του iCloud, προσφέροντας απλόχερα εγκεφαλικά σε κυβερνήσεις και ανταγωνισμό. Και έρχεται σε συνδυασμό με την ακύρωση για τη χρήση CSAM.
 

Advanced Data Protection is Apple’s highest level of cloud data security, giving users the choice to protect the vast majority of their most sensitive iCloud data with end-to-end encryption so that it can only be decrypted on their trusted devices.

 

For users who enable Advanced Data Protection, the total number of data categories protected using end-to-end encryption rises to 23, including iCloud Backup, Notes, and Photos. The only major iCloud data categories that are not covered are iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar because of the need to interoperate with the global email, contacts, and calendar systems.

 

* Διαθέσιμο ήδη στην Αμερική για όσους είναι στο Apple Beta Software Program και μέχρι το τέλος του έτους σε όλους.

 

** Στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο απο αρχές του '23.

EFF - VICTORY! Apple Commits to Encrypting iCloud, Drops Phone-Scanning Plans
 

We applaud Apple for listening to experts, child advocates, and users who want to protect their most sensitive data. Encryption is one of the most important tools we have for maintaining privacy and security online. That’s why we included the demand that Apple let users encrypt iCloud backups in the Fix It Already campaign that we launched in 2019.

We’re also pleased to hear that Apple has officially dropped its plans to install photo-scanning software on its devices, which would have inspected users’ private photos in iCloud and iMessage. This software, a version of what’s called “client-side scanning,” was intended to locate child abuse imagery and report it to authorities. When a user’s information is end-to-end encrypted and there is no device scanning, the user has true control over who has access to that data.

This is great. There’s been enough pressure and enough narrative work that they see the side of history forming. It’s really incredible

It’s good to see Apple’s privacy protections catching up with its sales pitch, but making these protections opt-in will leave most users vulnerable. For years, Apple has touted its privacy record while leaving its users vulnerable, particularly to police surveillance. Much of the data users store on iCloud is just a court order away from becoming a policing tool. With these changes, Apple will keep up with the privacy best practices that other companies have followed for years. But it’s disappointing that users have to opt-in to many of these new protections, leaving the vast majority at risk.
