It’s not proprietary. It’s the AES 256 standard.

iCloud is proprietary by definition because Apple has not publicly released its source code under a free license.

AES is a specification, not a piece of software. Closed-source software like iCloud that implements the AES specification is still proprietary.

Yes. I’m referring to the encryption standard and I’m saying the photos stored in the cloud service are E2EE.

People were claiming Apple was secretly keeping deleted photos in the cloud. Which was what my parent comment was about.
