This document provides summaries of Apple's new features to expand protections for children and detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Communication safety in Messages allows parents to be notified if children in their family share sexually explicit photos but does not impact privacy or break encryption. CSAM detection analyzes photos uploaded to iCloud Photos against known CSAM images and only flags accounts for human review if a collection of matches is found, without scanning other device data. The features were designed to balance child protection with user privacy and cannot be used to surveil users or detect non-CSAM content.

1. Facial recognition technology works by identifying 80 nodal points on a human face and mapping variables like nose length, eye size, and cheekbone shape to create a unique "faceprint".
2. It can quickly and reliably recognize individuals when conditions are optimal, but performance decreases if the face is blurred, in shadow, or not facing forward.
3. Facial recognition is used for smartphone security like Face ID, airport security, law enforcement matching mugshots to databases, social media tagging photos, and targeted digital advertising based on demographics.
The security of seven popular fitness trackers and the Apple Watch was tested. Some trackers had issues with Bluetooth visibility, authentication, and data tampering. Pebble Time, Microsoft Band 2, and Basis Peak were among the most secure, while Striiv Fusion, Xiaomi MiBand, and Runtastic Moment Elite had the most security risks due to inconsistencies with authentication, tampering protection, and encrypted data transmission. The Apple Watch was also found to be highly secure, though some encrypted data could be accessed with additional steps.

Facial recognition technology uses statistical measurements of facial features to digitally identify individuals. While this allows for convenience, it also raises major privacy and security concerns. Facebook has developed Deepface, which can recognize faces with 97.25% accuracy, similar to humans. Deepface may soon be used commercially by Facebook to improve its facial recognition and enable real-world facial tracking of activities both online and in physical stores. However, some worry that facial recognition threatens individual privacy if expressions and sentiments can be analyzed without consent.

Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.

2. Overview
At Apple, our goal is to create technology that empowers people and enriches their lives —
while helping them stay safe. We want to protect children from predators who use communica-
tion tools to recruit and exploit them, and limit the spread of Child Sexual Abuse Material
(CSAM). Since we announced these features, many stakeholders including privacy organiza-
tions and child safety organizations have expressed their support of this new solution, and
some have reached out with questions. This document serves to address these questions and
provide more clarity and transparency in the process.
What are the differences between communication safety in
Messages and CSAM detection in iCloud Photos?
These two features are not the same and do not use the same technology.
Communication safety in Messages is designed to give parents and children additional tools to
help protect their children from sending and receiving sexually explicit images in the Messages
app. It works only on images sent or received in the Messages app for child accounts set up in
Family Sharing. It analyzes the images on-device, and so does not change the privacy assur-
ances of Messages. When a child account sends or receives sexually explicit images, the photo
will be blurred and the child will be warned, presented with helpful resources, and reassured it is
okay if they do not want to view or send the photo. As an additional precaution, young children
can also be told that, to make sure they are safe, their parents will get a message if they do view
it.
The second feature, CSAM detection in iCloud Photos, is designed to keep CSAM off iCloud
Photos without providing information to Apple about any photos other than those that match
known CSAM images. CSAM images are illegal to possess in most countries, including the Unit-
ed States. This feature only impacts users who have chosen to use iCloud Photos to store their
photos. It does not impact users who have not chosen to use iCloud Photos. There is no impact
to any other on-device data. This feature does not apply to Messages.
Communication safety in Messages
Who can use communication safety in Messages?
Communication safety in Messages is only available for accounts set up as families in iCloud.
Parent/guardian accounts must opt in to turn on the feature for their family group. Parental noti-
fications can only be enabled by parents/guardians for child accounts age 12 or younger.

3. Does this mean Messages will share information with Apple or law
enforcement?
No. Apple never gains access to communications as a result of this feature in Messages. This
feature does not share any information with Apple, NCMEC or law enforcement. The communi-
cations safety feature in Messages is separate from CSAM detection for iCloud Photos — see
below for more information about that feature.
Does this break end-to-end encryption in Messages?
No. This doesn’t change the privacy assurances of Messages, and Apple never gains access to
communications as a result of this feature. Any user of Messages, including those with with
communication safety enabled, retains control over what is sent and to whom. If the feature is
enabled for the child account, the device will evaluate images in Messages and present an in-
tervention if the image is determined to be sexually explicit. For accounts of children age 12 and
under, parents can set up parental notifications which will be sent if the child confirms and
sends or views an image that has been determined to be sexually explicit. None of the commu-
nications, image evaluation, interventions, or notifications are available to Apple.
Does this feature prevent children in abusive homes from seeking
help?
The communication safety feature applies only to sexually explicit photos shared or received in
Messages. Other communications that victims can use to seek help, including text in Messages,
are unaffected. We are also adding additional support to Siri and Search to provide victims —
and people who know victims — more guidance on how to seek help.
Will parents be notified without children being warned and given a
choice?
No. First, parent/guardian accounts must opt-in to enable communication safety in Messages,
and can only choose to turn on parental notifications for child accounts age 12 and younger. For
child accounts age 12 and younger, each instance of a sexually explicit image sent or received
will warn the child that if they continue to view or send the image, their parents will be sent a
notification. Only if the child proceeds with sending or viewing an image after this warning will
the notification be sent. For child accounts age 13–17, the child is still warned and asked if they
wish to view or share a sexually explicit image, but parents are not notified.

4. CSAM detection
Does this mean Apple is going to scan all the photos stored on my
iPhone?
No. By design, this feature only applies to photos that the user chooses to upload to iCloud
Photos, and even then Apple only learns about accounts that are storing collections of known
CSAM images, and only the images that match to known CSAM. The system does not work for
users who have iCloud Photos disabled. This feature does not work on your private iPhone pho-
to library on the device.
Will this download CSAM images to my iPhone to compare against
my photos?
No. CSAM images are not stored on or sent to the device. Instead of actual images, Apple uses
unreadable hashes that are stored on device. These hashes are strings of numbers that repre-
sent known CSAM images, but it isn’t possible to read or convert those hashes into the CSAM
images they are based on. This set of image hashes is based on images acquired and validated
to be CSAM by child safety organizations. Using new applications of cryptography, Apple is able
to use these hashes to learn only about iCloud Photos accounts that are storing collections of
photos that match to these known CSAM images, and is then only able to learn about photos
that are known CSAM, without learning about or seeing any other photos.
Why is Apple doing this now?
One of the significant challenges in this space is protecting children while also preserving the
privacy of users. With this new technology, Apple will learn about known CSAM photos being
stored in iCloud Photos where the account is storing a collection of known CSAM. Apple will not
learn anything about other data stored solely on device.
Existing techniques as implemented by other companies scan all user photos stored in the
cloud. This creates privacy risk for all users. CSAM detection in iCloud Photos provides signifi-
cant privacy benefits over those techniques by preventing Apple from learning about photos
unless they both match to known CSAM images and are included in an iCloud Photos account
that includes a collection of known CSAM.

5. Security for CSAM detection for iCloud Photos
Can the CSAM detection system in iCloud Photos be used to detect
things other than CSAM?
Our process is designed to prevent that from happening. CSAM detection for iCloud Photos is
built so that the system only works with CSAM image hashes provided by NCMEC and other
child safety organizations. This set of image hashes is based on images acquired and validated
to be CSAM by child safety organizations. There is no automated reporting to law enforcement,
and Apple conducts human review before making a report to NCMEC. As a result, the system is
only designed to report photos that are known CSAM in iCloud Photos. In most countries, in-
cluding the United States, simply possessing these images is a crime and Apple is obligated to
report any instances we learn of to the appropriate authorities.
Could governments force Apple to add non-CSAM images to the
hash list?
Apple will refuse any such demands. Apple’s CSAM detection capability is built solely to detect
known CSAM images stored in iCloud Photos that have been identified by experts at NCMEC
and other child safety groups. We have faced demands to build and deploy government-man-
dated changes that degrade the privacy of users before, and have steadfastly refused those
demands. We will continue to refuse them in the future. Let us be clear, this technology is limit-
ed to detecting CSAM stored in iCloud and we will not accede to any government’s request to
expand it. Furthermore, Apple conducts human review before making a report to NCMEC. In a
case where the system flags photos that do not match known CSAM images, the account would
not be disabled and no report would be filed to NCMEC.
Can non-CSAM images be “injected” into the system to flag ac-
counts for things other than CSAM?
Our process is designed to prevent that from happening. The set of image hashes used for
matching are from known, existing images of CSAM that have been acquired and validated by
child safety organizations. Apple does not add to the set of known CSAM image hashes. The
same set of hashes is stored in the operating system of every iPhone and iPad user, so targeted
attacks against only specific individuals are not possible under our design. Finally, there is no
automated reporting to law enforcement, and Apple conducts human review before making a
report to NCMEC. In the unlikely event of the system flagging images that do not match known
CSAM images, the account would not be disabled and no report would be filed to NCMEC.

6. Will CSAM detection in iCloud Photos falsely flag innocent people to
law enforcement?
No. The system is designed to be very accurate, and the likelihood that the system would incor-
rectly flag any given account is less than one in one trillion per year. In addition, any time an ac-
count is flagged by the system, Apple conducts human review before making a report to
NCMEC. As a result, system errors or attacks will not result in innocent people being reported to
NCMEC.
