security - Is the iOS keychain encrypted without device passcode? -
up till believed ios keychain best way store usernames , passwords. however, came across this site states that:
"without passcode, data on device — including sensitive data stored in keychain — can read momentary access device"
i have gone through relevant sections in apples documentation on ios security , nothing explicitly states such?
is claim true or have misunderstood here?
the keychain implemented sqlite database stored on file system. there 1 database;
the securityd daemon
determines keychain items each process or app can access. keychain access apis result in calls daemon, queries app’s “keychain-access-groups,” “application-identifier,” , “applicationgroup” entitlements. rather limiting access single process, access groups allow keychain items shared between apps.
it means hacker can't access ur keychain data there no passcode
. it's under control of apple's the securityd daemon
. cant access data of keychain without the securityd daemon
.
update:
maybe that's u want know: hacker vs keychain
