The full video of Apple's presentation at this year's Black Hat security conference was posted to YouTube on Tuesday, offering viewers a deep dive into iOS security mechanisms, from backbone synchronization service iCloud to new systems like HomeKit.
Apple's Head of Security Engineering and Architecture Ivan Kristić went into surprising detail on a variety of topics during his talk at Black Hat's U.S. conference earlier this month. HomeKit, Auto Unlock and iCloud Keychain were discussed at length, as was hardware technology like the Secure Enclave Processor introduced with the A7 system-on-chip.
Kristić also took the opportunity to announce Apple's first ever bug bounty program. The initiative, which launches in September for a select group of invited researchers, offers cash incentives up to $200,000 for previously undiscovered software and hardware vulnerabilities.
Apple is one of the last major consumer electronics brands to institute a bug bounty program after having relied on internal testing for decades.
