      Neither the MacTrast nor the original 9to5 article discusses the security behind Apple’s iOS implementation. But we know all firmware packages are signed and I would imagine this would be no different, with the recovery partition OS performing a check of the signature.

    I wonder if this development isn’t tied to the sealed box updates tool that rolled out earlier this year.
