when Apple introduced 10 major new features to iOS 10 as its Worldwide Developers Conference just concluded in part (WWDC 2016) opening keynote, I forgot to mention a very important safety aspect; it has left iOS kernel of 10 fully encrypted in any version of iOS for the first time.
The company obviously wanted to keep this very obvious reason in the low, but you would expect that it does not take long to find exactly the iOS unobfuscated cardiac safety researchers. Apple has now been confirmed that it was deliberately left in the firmware deliberately unencrypted responses to this discovery.
Apple spokesman confirmed that the decision to leave the 10 core iOS encryption is intentional, one engineer is definitely not Apple’s low-level error. The statement went on trying to outline the fact that the kernel does not actually contain the user information, security has not been compromised dilute any security issues:
kernel cache does not contain any user information, and through unencrypting it, we can not affect the security of
here is an important aspect to note is that an unencrypted kernel does not mean that optimize the performance of the operating system that runs the iPhone or iOS 10 Beta iPad than those who do run a complete blur kernel shipped earlier iOS versions less secure. It just means that developers and security researchers to use the right skills and knowledge base, you can first survey kernel code 10 unobstructed for iOS. If there is any flaw or defect report, which means they can repair a lot faster.
Of course, this may also mean that those involved in the jailbreak community has a rare opportunity to look for jailbreak iOS platform 10 without the need to come up with innovative ways to circumvent Apple new ways kernel encrypted.
Many people speculate that this is Apple’s negligence, but it all seems to be part of the company’s new dedication to the well published Court and the FBI compete to gain access in Shengbei Na provide greater transparency after 5C Dino shootings used iPhone.
Since the original report notes, leaving the kernel fully open the market to weaken the investigation may also bring a second advantage when it comes to buying weakness and vulnerability, similar to a FBI later to to gain access to the aforementioned iPhone 5C
