When uploading to Testflight the following questions get posted. How to answer this question gets asked in many forums, however none of the answers are satisfactory and it seems every body misreads option two.
What type of encryption algorithms does your app implement?
-
Encryption algorithms that are proprietary or not accepted as standard by international standard bodies (IEEE, IETF, ITU, etc.)
-
Standard encryption algorithms instead of, or in addition to, using or accessing the encryption within Apple's operating system
-
Both algorithms mentioned above
-
None of the algorithms mentioned above
In the case where an application is using standard encryption provided by the OS itself and isn't doing anything proprietary, what should the answer be?
Many people on the internet say the answer should be 2). 2) Does mention standard encryption algorithms, but everybody seems to gloss over this phrase "instead of, or in addition to, using or accessing the encryption within Apple's operating system"
Two is not saying the app uses standard encryption algorithms from the OS, two is saying using standard encryption algorithms instead of or in addition to, those provided by the OS.
In the above options, there is none to select for the situation where the app only uses standard algorithms from the OS. If that is what 2 is meant to be, then the grammar and English usage doesn't not actually mean that. The phrase "instead of or in addition to" changes that.
So what option to choose? Is there a bug in 2 and its English grammar is incorrect and doesn't convey the actual intended meaning?
