How iMessage sends and receives messages securely
Users start a new iMessage conversation by entering an address or name. If they enter a phone number or email address, the device contacts the Apple Identity Service (IDS) to retrieve the public keys and APNs addresses for all of the devices associated with the addressee. If the user enters a name, the device first uses the user’s Contacts app to gather the phone numbers and email addresses associated with that name and then gets the public keys and APNs addresses from IDS.
Apple Platform Security
Hardware security Secure software requires a foundation of security built into hardware. That’s why Apple devices—with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, or visionOS—have security capabilities designed into silicon. Learn more about Apple hardware security System security Building on the unique capabilities of Apple hardware, system security is designed to maximize the security of the operating systems on Apple devices without compromising usability.
Apple property list parsing with EnScript
The third blog in the series following on from Using the Generic SQLite Database Parser EnScript in forensic examination of a mobile device, will focus on Apple Property List (plist). Plists are used to store user and system related information and are usually found in either a binary or XML format, some will have relevance in DFIR examinations of Apple devices.
Using the Generic SQLite Database Parser EnScript in forensic examinations of a mobile device
In my previous blog, the use of EnScript was introduced as a benefit to extend the artifact reach and add custom parsing for the yet supported. This blog will focus on the configuration and use of the Generic SQLite Database Parser, illustrating how custom SQLite queries can be added for one or many SQLite databases, how one or many custom queries can be executed from within the EnScript, and how the exposed data is presented within OpenText™ EnCase™ and as TSV (Tab-separated values).
Mobile device examination with EnCase
Anyone engaged in DFIR (Digital Forensics & Incident Response) will recognize and understand the field moves and evolves at a rapid rate. There is always something new to learn and understand, with an increasing number of artifacts to parse and examine during a forensic investigation. Forensic software tools have great feature sets for automating the parsing of many artifacts that might be of relevance to an investigation.

DriverKit security for macOS
DriverKit is the framework that allows developers to create device drivers that the user installs on their Mac. Drivers built with DriverKit run in user space, rather than as kernel extensions, for improved system security and stability. This makes for easier installation and increases the stability and security of macOS. The user simply downloads the app (installers aren’t necessary when using system extensions or DriverKit) and the extension is enabled only when required.
