Egad, did Apple do something right? End-to-end encryption for (most) iCloud services
The security community welcomed Apple's decision to commit to broad E2E encryption for its services. Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at Johns Hopkins University, said Apple's announcement is a big deal.
Some iCloud metadata and usage information will remain accessible to Apple – still encrypted, but with keys under Apple's control. That includes file modification timestamps and checksums for file and photo data – hashes that may have some utility for identifying known illegal images or other law enforcement inquiries.
Activating Advanced Data Protection requires an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled and devices updated to iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, macOS 13.1, tvOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2, or the latest version of iCloud for Windows. Users are also required to set up at least one alternative recovery mechanism, so they can access their data if they lose access to their Apple ID account.
