Apple creates Private Cloud Compute VM to let Researchers find Bugs. :apple_inc:

The company also seeks to improve the system's security and has expanded its security bounty program to include rewards of up to [$1 Million] for vulnerabilities that could compromise “the fundamental security and privacy guarantees of PCC”.

Apple created a Virtual Research Environment to allow public access to testing the security of its Private Cloud Compute system, and released the source code for some “key components” to help researchers analyze the privacy and safety features on the architecture.

The company also makes available the Private Cloud Compute Security Guide, which explains the architecture and technical details of the components and the way they work.

Interacting with the Private Cloud Compute client from the Virtual Research Environment.

Apple provides a Virtual Research Environment (VRE), which replicates locally the cloud intelligence system and allows inspecting it as well as testing its security and hunting for issues.

“The VRE runs the PCC node software in a virtual machine with only minor modifications. Userspace software runs identically to the PCC node, with the boot process and kernel adapted for virtualization,” Apple explains, sharing documentation on how to set up the Virtual Research Environment on your device.

VRE is present on macOS Sequia 15.1 Developer Preview and it needs a device with Apple silicaon and at least 16GB of unified memory.
