On the iPhone, security exploits are essentially what make jailbreaking possible, and Apple is looking to beef up the security of iPhone OS. The company recently posted a job listing for an iPhone OS Platform Security Manager, which will oversee a team "focused on the platform security of iPhone OS." That team is tasked with ensuring "secure booting and installation of the OS"—which essentially would mean an end to jailbreaking. It's also responsible for "partitioning and hardening of security domains within the OS, cryptographic services, and risk analysis of security threats," and any potential manager will be asked to implement "a methodology for proactively finding security vulnerabilities."
