Apple increases end-to-end encryption for data points on iCloud

In News
  • Apple announced recently that it will now provide full end-to-end encryption for almost all of the data users its users stores in its global cloud-based storage system, as part of an ongoing privacy effort.
End-to-End Encryption
  • End-to-end encryption is a communication process that encrypts data being shared between two devices.
  • It prevents third parties like cloud service providers, internet service providers (ISPs) and cybercriminals from accessing data while it is being transferred.
  • The cryptographic keys used to encrypt and decrypt the messages are stored on the endpoints.
  • The process of end-to-end encryption uses an algorithm that transforms standard text into an unreadable format.
  • This format can only be unscrambled and read by those with the decryption keys, which are only stored on endpoints and not with any third parties including companies providing the service.
