Apple has opened its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) system to security researchers, according to a post on its Security Research Blog. PCC is designed to meet compute-intensive requests for Apple Intelligence while maintaining privacy by bringing Apple’s device security model to the cloud. The company is now making available a security guide, virtual research environment, and source code for key components of PCC so researchers can independently verify the system’s security and privacy promises. In addition, the Apple Security Bounty Program has been expanded to include PCC, allowing researchers to receive rewards for reporting security or privacy issues.
