Apple Posts Updated Security Guide for iOS 12

Apple has posted an updated Security Guide for iOS 12.

Every iOS device combines software, hardware, and services designed to work together for maximum security and a transparent user experience. iOS protects not only the device and its data at rest, but the entire ecosystem, including everything users do locally, on networks, and with key internet services.

The guide is divided into the following areas:
• System security: The integrated and secure software and hardware that are the platform for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
• Encryption and data protection: The architecture and design that protects user data if the device is lost or stolen, or if an unauthorized person attempts to use or modify it.
• App security: The systems that enable apps to run securely and without compromising platform integrity.
• Network security: Industry-standard networking protocols that provide secure authentication and encryption of data in transmission.
• Apple Pay: Apple’s implementation of secure payments.
• Internet services: Apple’s network-based infrastructure for messaging, syncing, and backup.
• User password management: Password restrictions and access to passwords from other authorized sources.
• Device controls: Methods that allow management of iOS devices, prevent unauthorized use, and enable remote wipe if a device is lost or stolen.
• Privacy controls: Capabilities of iOS that can be used to control access to Location Services and user data.
• Security Certifications and programs: Information on ISO certifications, Cryptographic validation, Common Criteria Certification, and commercial solutions for classified (CSfC).
