Researchers in Germany say they’ve been able to reveal passwords stored in locked iPhone in just six minutes. Passwords for networks and corporate information systems can be revealed if an iPhone or iPad is lost or stolen. The attack works because the cryptographic key on current iOS devices is based on material available within the device and is independent of the passcode, the researchers said. Researchers published a paper with full details of the attack’s results in a paper published by Fraunhofer Institute Secure Information Technology. Last year the institute began selling a Java phone application for securely storing passwords.”]
