Device
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Known hardware tampering None [2] No widespread evidence of hardware tampering at the manufacturing level.
Known vulnerabilities Very common [3] The final OS version (iOS 6.1.6) has numerous documented, unpatched vulnerabilities.
Prior attacks Very common [4] Susceptible to various jailbreaks and exploits over its lifetime.
Updatability None [5] Support ended with iOS 6.1.6; no updates available since 2014.
Category score 3
System
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Authentication with other systems Partial [6] Supported basic protocols (e.g., POP/IMAP, Exchange) but lacked modern standards.
Communications Encrypted with obselete encryption [7] Used older SSL/TLS versions and WEP/WPA Wi-Fi encryption by modern standards.
Storage Encrypted with obselete encryption [8] The iPhone 3GS introduced hardware-based Data Protection when a passcode was set. However, it used AES-128 and older key derivation functions that are considered weak by modern standards (e.g., pre-iOS 4 security model).
Category score 2
User Authentication
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Account management Basic [9] Supported basic passcode and simple restrictions. Lacked advanced management features.
Authentication Basic [10] 4-digit numeric passcode was standard. No biometrics or strong multi-factor authentication.
Brute-force protection Basic [11] Basic increasing time delays after failed passcode attempts. No sophisticated rate limiting.
Event logging Partial logging [12] Limited system and diagnostic logs; not extensive security event logging.
Passwords Default/Common/Easy to guess [13] Simple 4-digit passcode was default; no mandatory complexity or forced change after setup.
