    Monterey slow to mount APFS encrypted SSD

    Ever since I "upgraded" to Monterey from Big Sur, my APFS formatted external SSDs take forever to mount. The same drives mounted instantly on Big Sur. The issue exists on both my Intel and M1 based machines running macOS 12.6.3. The issue specifically affects APFS encrypted disks as my...

    How is it safe to buy a refurbished iPhone like from Amazon since the data from the previous owner could still be on the device and accessed by you or because the previous owner's data could become mixed in with your data or accounts, even if the device is factory reset?

    Is the kernel cache encrypted?

    Hi, I've recently began researching ios kernel security. However, I've been struggling to find out whether the kernel cache for ios 15 is encrypted or not. I know it was left unencrypted for ios 10, however I couldn't find any information on whether they went back to encrypting them or not. Any...

    Is FileVault the best encryption solution?

    Hi, I'd like to encrypt my whole disk using FileVault on a 2018 MBP (using recovery key and not the iCloud account). Is FileVault the best choice? I've read that its encryption algorithm is not state of the art. Or is there a better free alternative? Thanks,

    Other Could Apple creates its own secure voice protocol?

    Starting from this article Could Apple rig up a feature where it would detect an Apple iPhone on the other end and start an encrypted voice link rather than the normal wireless link? Or... perhaps it would be pre-determined by the user. I know that there are various apps that do this but it...

    iphone encrypted backup the worst design flaw ever.

    How did this ever come about and how is it nothing has ever been done about it? iTunes entices you to turn on encrypted backups for your iPhone without any warning that there is NO way to recover your password if you forget it. Horrible but OK fine. Whatever. But how is it that there is NO way...

    Corrupted WD Hard-Drive

    Alright guys, I'm in real trouble here. I accidentally erased my main hard-drive with all my stuff on it. Worse than that, I only partially erased it, as I shut off the computer when I realised what I was doing. Worse again, the hard-drive was encrypted, which makes potential data recovery even...
