New Encryption Algorithms for User Data
The new encryption algorithms implemented in iOS 18.2 beta offer robust protection for user data, making it more challenging for unauthorized access. The update introduces the use of
XChaCha20-Poly1305
and
AES-256-GCM
for data encryption. These algorithms are considered industry-leading standards, offering strong resistance to attacks and ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive user information.
Security Features Addressing Malicious Apps
iOS 18.2 beta includes several security features designed to mitigate threats posed by malicious apps. One notable enhancement is the implementation of a
