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
