UID. This issue was addressed by encrypting the transferred files
with a key protected by the hardware UID and the user's passcode.

criteria when switching between DOM input elements in legacy WebKit.
CVE-ID
CVE-2014-4450
Secure Transport
Available for: iPhone 4s and later,
iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later
Impact: An attacker may be able to decrypt data protected by SSL
Description: There are known attacks on the confidentiality of SSL
3.0 when a cipher suite uses a block cipher in CBC mode. An attacker
could force the use of SSL 3.0, even when the server would support a
better TLS version, by blocking TLS 1.0 and higher connection
attempts. This issue was addressed by disabling CBC cipher suites
when TLS connection attempts fail.
