Apple announced that it has opened its Security Framework and Common Crypto libraries to developers in a bid to promote better security in third-party apps, according to a report published by VentureBeat.
The cryptographic libraries being opened are the same ones Apple uses to protect iOS and OS X. Developers can now use Apple’s Security Framework and Common Crypto libraries which handle encryption, tokenization, security certificates, trust keys and other security protocols.
Although corecrypto does not directly provide programming interfaces for developers and should not be used by iOS or OS X apps, the source code is available to allow for verification of its security characteristics and correct functioning, said Apple.
