Apple is to introduce three security features focused on protecting user data in the cloud as the next step in an ongoing programme of cyber improvements, among them the addition of the tried-and-tested physical security key, which it will source from an unspecified third-party supplier.The three new features, which are to become available globally over the course of 2023, comprise Security Keys for Apple ID, giving users the choice of having a physical form of multifactor authentication (MFA); Contact Key Verification for iMessage, to allow users to verify they are communicating with the intended party; and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, offering end-to-end encryption across users' iCloud data, such as Backup, Photos and Notes.
