People who have Advanced Data Protection enabled on Apple devices have Bear content encrypted using this standard. It means end-to-end encryption.
There is one big issue here. The current impilmentation does NOT encrypt the titles nor tags. This means all of one’s subjects and topics are unencrypted, as well as some of their contents.
I urge bear to use identifiers for these, or something, so that all data is properly encrypted! Thanks.
Again +1 to this, as I’ve argued elsewhere.
Btw, I remember that one of the reasons for not using E2EE for titles and tags was connected to Bear Web. But according to some of the beta tester posts, Bear Web works with ADP if web access to iCloud data is enabled. I’m definitely interested to know whether this is indeed the case. If yes, I assume this would make E2EE of titles and tags easier.
They claim it’s ADP supported but, there is a good amount that is simply not covered by the encryption.
I am hoping they close these gaps in their encryption support. Imagine if one relied upon this one day, and ALL of the note titles were left out in the open. The entire subject of what they were writing about is in plain text.
It’s partial support for ADP, not full.
Post if you support it
