Ah, right. But Apple is using NeuralHash, not photoDNA, right? Does that suffer the same problem?


We don't know but I think there's a good chance it does. It's important to determine before release. Maybe it's possible to encrypt them in such a way, no one can access them despite being on the device and still be able to use them for comparison


Yes, that's what the paper A Concrete-Security Analysis of the Apple PSI Protocol from UC San Diego claims:

> Reciprocally, the database of CSAM photos should not be made public or become known to the user. Apple has found a way to detect and report CSAM offenders while respecting these privacy constraints.
