I’m not sure I agree with that. Just reading up on this article from August of last year:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/imessage-weak-encryption-matthew-green,32466.html <http://www.tomshardware.com/news/imessage-weak-encryption-matthew-green,32466.html> Couple of points from the article: - Undelivered messages ARE stored encrypted on Apples servers for up to 30 days. Sure someone with the appropriate key can decrypt them. That’s nothing new. - Cloud backups store your messages, they’re encrypted.. and supposedly Apple can decrypt them? Or not? If you’re a terrorist and/or extra paranoid, turn them off or use WhatsApp.. Oh wait, don’t they have a backdoor? :) - They say iMessage is “Not any better than normal TLS”.. well, it’s encrypted. Better than not! - From this it also appears Apple implemented most of their short-term vulnerability patches for old clients. I assume if both sides of the conversation are running the latest iOS version, then they’re much more “secure” than running older un-patched ones. Just be sure to patch both sides of your iOS devices before your terrorist-ing messages are sent!
