The interoperability layer is built in Rust to eliminate memory-safety vulnerabilities common in data parsing over wireless protocols. The feature uses AirDrop's 'Everyone for 10 minutes' mode, is peer-to-peer with no server routing or logging, and was independently audited by NetSPI, which found it 'notably stronger' than other industry implementations. Google expressed interest in collaborating with Apple to support 'Contacts Only' mode in the future. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
