The company explains that it would like independent researchers to take a closer look at how Apple's new product works and to judge whether or not it contains flaws that could endanger the security of users' personal data. users.
A question which has not yet found a technical answer, while many defenders of individual rights have already expressed their opposition to CSAM,this is particularly the case of Edward Snowden or the NGO EFF, yet an ally of Apple in recent months.
Corellium is therefore offering to finance up to $5,000 for all research that can be carried out on Apple's CSAM. Applicants will therefore need to submit a proposal that includes information on the likely impact of their research, its level of novelty and feasibility, as well as the likelihood of it being successful and the technical means used.
All this will determine whether or not a grant is awarded from Corellium.

The aim of this operation is to find child criminals, as well as to undermine the trafficking of this type of image.But while Apple thought it was doing well, the Cupertino company found itself facing an army of defenders of individual freedoms, who criticized Apple for having forgotten its principles regarding confidentiality. Since Apple has made privacy and data protection its priority for several years,credo.
