If you store info in the settings file via an iPad is it accessible?

If you store info in the settings file via an iPad is it accessible?

Is this data secure, can other applications see it?


NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

/*Unsave Username*/

[defaults setObject:[NSString stringWithString:@"secret_data1"]
forKey:@"key1"];

[defaults setObject:[NSString stringWithString:@"secret_data2"]
forKey:@"key2"];

Is that data secure? Can users access this? Can an application? How secure is this?

You can use an encryption method to make it more secure.

It's not particularly secure. This data is synced to the computer when the iPad backs up, and it's also trivially accessed on a jailbroken device. If you have any secure data you should be using the Keychain instead.
