After launching its CareKit platform in April of last year, Apple has announced a new partnership with Tresorit to offer that company’s ZeroKit to app developers looking to offer more secure data encryption. CareKit apps allow users to track their health information and keep that data encrypted on the user’s iPhone, but when the data is shared with servers, it’s up to developers to provide security for that transmission. Tresorit’s ZeroKit framework provides a shortcut for those looking to add “zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption” to their apps without doing all the leg work. Tresorit’s website claims their authentication service can guard against many of the most common methods used in data breaches, including “pass the hash,” dictionary, and brute force attacks. Some companies, like Dr.near.me and The Diary Corporation, are already using ZeroKit to secure their apps. [via Apple Insider]
