Introduction to Apple platform security:
★In this article we gonna perform a detailed study about the iOS security architecture and to the extent, we won’t perform a comparative study on Android Vs iOS. The massive usage of mobile devices by individuals as well as by organizations has brought forth many privacy-related concerns. So, Apple built an amazing security architecture system to create and support the best possible mobile platform in the world. This article provides details about how security technology and features are implemented within the iOS platform. It will also help individual organizations combine iOS platform security technology and features with their very own policies and procedures to meet their specific security needs.
Security is State-of-the-art!
★Apple developed and incorporated the best features that should tighten the mobile security platform and protect the entire system to ensure the three pillars of security triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability). software and hardware modules are tightly coupled with each other in every aspect of the mobile platform. Many of these features in the given below architecture are enabled by default in the iOS to reduce the user/admin tasks.
This article is well organized into the following areas in a detailed manner.
