CloudKit Security

Hello.


As a CloudKit user in my app, something came through my mind recently.

How does CloudKit handle the network security? Is it end-to-end encrypted or it's made through HTTPS protocol or can an outsider sniff the network and catch the calls being made to the server?

I'm pretty new to CloudKit, but I know that everything iOS sends to/from servers is encrypted, mostly with TLS/SSL.

(Apple has been trying hard for years to get developers to stop using unencrypted HTTP connections; that's what the App Transport Security mechanism is for.)
