So the information still leaves your device. I don’t understand how the manufacturer of the hardware in the data center makes a difference to privacy or security?
I don’t know all the technical details of how this works, but I read that they’re planning to use their “Secure Enclave” functionality, which is hardware based.
Yeah, but it'll be Secure Enclave in data centre hardware, not on your phone. Basically they're just using their own proprietary HSMs to encrypt data on the server.
Not convinced that this will really add any privacy benefits over other confidential computing solutions already offered by AWS/Google Cloud/Azure. That said, it is fairly private - just not as good as on-device.
I’m not saying it’ll be any more secure/private, as like I said I don’t know the technical details behind it. But that is the explanation for why they’re using all of their own chips for it.
