Abstract

The article discusses the computer company Apple Inc. and its reported discovery of a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) vulnerability involving the firm's iOS 6.0 computer operating system in 2014, focusing on man-in-the-middle computer attacks and various computer bugs (viruses). An apparent short circuit involving an SSL/TLS (Transport Layer Security) handshake algorithm is mentioned, along with the U.S. National Vulnerability Database and the C computer programming language. Computer coding standards and duplications of "goto" statements are examined.
