Apple Defends Its Anti-Child Abuse Imagery Tech After Claims of ‘Hash Collisions’

Researchers claim they have probed a particular part of Apple's new system to detect and flag child sexual abuse material, or CSAM, and were able to trick it into saying two images that were clearly different shared the same cryptographic fingerprint. But Apple says this part of its system is not supposed to be secret, that the overall system is designed to account for this to happen in general, and that the analyzed code is not the final implementation that will be used with the CSAM system itself and is instead a generic version.

On Wednesday, GitHub user AsuharietYgvar published details of what they claim is an implementation of NeuralHash, a hashing technology in the anti-CSAM system announced by Apple at the beginning of August. Hours later, someone else claimed to have been able to create a collision, meaning he tricked the system into giving two different images the same hash. Ordinarily, hash collisions mean that one file could appear to be another to a system. For example, perhaps a piece of malware shares a hash with an innocuous file, so an anti-virus system flags the banal file thinking it poses a threat to the user.  

In a whitepaper, Apple explained that its CSAM detection technology will work on a user's device, as opposed to on the company's cloud, as other companies like Google and Microsoft do. The system relies on a database of hashes—cryptographic representations of images—of known CSAM photos provided by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other child protection organizations. Apple's system will scan photos a user uploads to iCloud to see if any match the hashes, and if there's more than 30 matches, it will flag the user to an Apple team which will review the images. If Apple finds they are CSAM, it will report the user to law enforcement. 

In a document describing the new system, Apple says "The hashing technology, called NeuralHash, analyzes an image and converts it to a unique number specific to that image."

Apple however told Motherboard in an email that that version analyzed by users on GitHub is a generic version, and not the one final version that will be used for iCloud Photos CSAM detection. Apple said that it also made the algorithm public.

"The NeuralHash algorithm [… is] included as part of the code of the signed operating system [and] security researchers can verify that it behaves as described," one of Apple's pieces of documentation reads. Apple also said that after a user passes the 30 match threshold, a second non-public algorithm that runs on Apple's servers will check the results.

"This independent hash is chosen to reject the unlikely possibility that the match threshold was exceeded due to non-CSAM images that were adversarially perturbed to cause false NeuralHash matches against the on-device encrypted CSAM database," the documentation reads.

"If collisions exist for this function I expect they’ll exist in the system Apple eventually activates," Matthew Green, who teaches cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, told Motherboard in an online chat. "Of course it’s possible that they will re-spin the hash function before they deploy. But as a proof of concept this is definitely valid," he added, referring to the research on GitHub.

Apple's new system is not just a technical one, though. Humans will also review images once the system marks a device as suspicious after a certain threshold of offending pictures are identified. These people will verify that the images do actually contain CSAM.

"Apple actually designed this system so the hash function doesn't need to remain secret, as the only thing you can do with 'non-CSAM that hashes as CSAM' is annoy Apple's response team with some garbage images until they implement a filter to eliminate those garbage false positives in their analysis pipeline," Nicholas Weaver, senior researcher at the International Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley, told Motherboard in an online chat.

Ryan Duff, the director of cyber products at SIXGEN, and a researcher who has focused on the iPhone for years, said that it looks like Apple's algorithm "is pretty susceptible to preimage attacks."

"You could argue how risky that is. It means that the odds of any of your images matching CSAM are essentially nil," Duff said in an online chat. "But someone may be able to send you an image that registers as CSAM according to the NeuralHash algorithm."

Since Apple announced its new anti-CSAM system, privacy and security experts, as well as the general public, have raised concerns about how the system could be abused. The company has tried to address these concerns by publishing several technical whitepapers and organizing calls with journalists, but the attention researchers got today shows there's still a lot of interest in understanding how the system will work.

IOTA Foundation Launches Trinity, a New Software Wallet for IOTA tokens

This post was originally published here

The IOTA Foundation has launched the Trinity wallet, as the organization announced in a press release on July 2.

The announcement advertises the Trinity wallet as an improve to both ease-of-use and security for users conducting transactions in IOTA, with the purported goal of appealing to both new and advanced users.

Reportedly, the wallet’s beta version has seen 160,000 downloads and transactions worth over $1.8 billion of IOTA. Cybersecurity firms SixGen andAccessec audited the application in advance of release.

As a software wallet, Trinity is designed for compatibility with Ledger’s hardware wallets, as Ledger has worked alongside the IOTA Foundation since the end of 2018, as Cointelegraph reported. Other reported features of the new wallet include Keepass-compliant security and encryption, biometric authentication, and availability in 25 languages and on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

The IOTA Foundation is a German non-profit whose distributed ledger technology (DLT) has seen recent partnerships with companies such as Primority for food tracking and Alyx for fashion supply-chain transparency.

IOTA’s DLT is unique in depending upon its Tangle. Rather than a true blockchain, Tangle depends on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that runs different types of transactions on separate chains simultaneously.

How iPhone Hackers Got Their Hands on the New iOS Months Before Its Release

Security researchers and hackers have had access to a leaked early version of iOS 14, the iPhone's next operating system, since at least February, Motherboard has learned.

That’s almost eight months before the expected official release of iOS 14, given that Apple usually publishes the new iOS in September along with the announcement of new phones. Sometimes, screenshots and descriptions of new features leak before the official reveal. This time, however, an entire version of the operating system has leaked and is being widely circulated among hackers and security researchers.

Motherboard has not been able to independently verify exactly how it leaked, but five sources in the jailbreaking community familiar with the leak told us they think that someone obtained a development iPhone 11 running a version of iOS 14 dated December 2019, which was made to be used only by Apple developers. According to those sources, someone purchased it from vendors in China for thousands of dollars, and then extracted the iOS 14 internal build and distributed it in the iPhone jailbreaking and hacking community.

“There's a network of people who have access to such things.”

For the last few months, information about iOS 14 has been trickling out on the Apple blog 9to5Mac, which obtained a copy of the leak. At the same time, people who trade stolen or leaked Apple code and hardware have been distributing this early version of iOS 14 to several security researchers, giving them an opportunity to take an early look into new code, and find new vectors to attack it, according to four sources in the security research community.

“It gives insight into a decrypted copy of the iOS file system months before release so it could be very useful. It’s pre-release, lots could change, but it’s a trove of information,” said Ryan Duff, Director of Cyber Products at SIXGEN, who reviewed the leaked code for Motherboard. “I can’t say this will give an easy jailbreak or anything like that, but it’s way more information about an upcoming iOS than we ever see normally.”

A screenshot of some of the code from the leaked iOS 14 internal build.

The final iOS will almost certainly look and function different than this early version, but iPhone hackers and researchers now have a huge lead time in which they're able to probe iOS 14 in order to look for vulnerabilities in whatever is eventually released to the public. Moreover, this leak shows once again that security researchers and iPhone hackers are starting to put some serious cracks into the once-vaunted security of iOS. In the last year or so, researchers have released a public jailbreak for almost all iPhones, the price of unknown vulnerabilities in iPhones are reportedly going down, signaling a market where they are more common, and several companies have caught hackers using sophisticated iPhone hacks in the wild.

Apple declined to comment on the leak.

“That sucks,” said a current Apple employee, who didn’t have knowledge of the leak. Another current Apple employee told Motherboard that they spoke to other employees referencing the leaks. Both employees asked to remain anonymous as they were not allowed to talk to the press. A source in the cybersecurity industry said, his team has this leaked version of iOS 14, and they are studying it. Motherboard granted several sources in this article because they were not authorized to speak to the press by their employers.

Do you work or did you use to work at Apple? Do you trade prototypes or do research on iOS? We’d love to hear from you. You can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, OTR chat at lorenzofb@jabber.ccc.de, or email lorenzofb@vice.com

Leaked Apple code, documentation, and hardware is often traded on Twitter using a hashtag called #AppleInternals. The people trading or selling this information are often pseudonymous, but have proven time and time again to have legitimate Apple information or hardware. This particular version of iOS 14 has been traded on Twitter but also among networks of jailbreakers and security researchers. Two security researchers told Motherboard they have (and are probing) iOS 14, and two said they heard it was being offered but were staying away from it, fearing repercussions from Apple.

An independent security researcher who goes by Unknownz21 on Twitter said he was selling the leaked code and, in a chat with Motherboard, knew specifics about the operating system and its code that we cross-checked with three sources who have it.

A tweet from Unknownz21.

“There's a network of people who have access to such things,” Unknownz21 said in a chat with Motherboard. We cross-checked information this user knew about the leak with others who also had it.

Another person, who goes by the name of Atomic F** and describes themselves as an enthusiast of Apple software and hardware that’s only intended for internal use, shared a copy of the leaked iOS 14 code with Motherboard. We verified that the code was the same one as the one circulating online by comparing version numbers and details of it with three people who claimed to have it. Motherboard has since deleted the code.

“It’s literally something that was installed on a phone, then copied from it. Since that kind of software implies the phone has root access enabled,” Atomic F** said in an online chat. “Which makes it easy to just make a literal copy.”

They said this is “the first time ever” an upcoming version of iOS leaked so many months in advance of its release and was widely traded in jailbreaking circles. Even the public beta for the operating system isn't yet available; the first public version of it is reportedly scheduled to be released on June 22. The leaked version is dated December 10, 2019 and has been traded widely since February.

“Shit is wild. I feel a bit bad for whoever is messing around as Apple does not take kindly to this.”

Last year, a Motherboard investigation revealed the existence of a gray market where smugglers steal early prototypes, or “dev-fused” iPhones from factories in China and then sell them to security researchers and collectors around the world. In the past, Apple has gone after leakers and even a Gizmodo journalist, who found a prototype of an iPhone 4 in a San Francisco bar. It’s unclear what the company will do about this incident, but some in the industry are expecting the worst.

“Shit is wild,” said Will Strafach, a former iPhone jailbreaker and now founder of iOS security app Guardian Firewall. “I feel a bit bad for whoever is messing around as Apple does not take kindly to this.”

Duff, who has studied iOS for years, said that it’s relatively normal to have some information about the upcoming iPhone and iOS, but this is “definitely a bad leak.”

“In recent times we have known almost everything about new models before they were even announced,” Duff said. “This development build leaking is just another example of how Apple's security regarding leaks has deteriorated over time.”
