"Apple's Attest API Tool Aims to Tighten App Security"

Apple has released a new tool aimed at helping developers protect iOS apps against security threats. Apple's Attest API tool generates a cryptographic key on a user's device to ensure that an app is authentic. The tool also makes sure that a phone does not send a user's data to a malicious app created to steal information such as usernames and passwords. This article continues to discuss the capabilities of Apple's Attest API, why it is difficult for iPhone security researchers to determine whether hackers have successfully breached an individual device, and what can happen when hackers use malicious apps to infiltrate iPhones.
