Updated with option to untrust in iOS 8 (thanks to duozmo's comment)

| Oct 31, 2013 at 10:16 | comment | added | Mattie | Further to this line of discussion, I would expect that (though I may be entirely wrong!) iTunes and an iOS device undergo some sort of key exchange. If you can defeat this PC-side—possibly by uninstalling iTunes or clearing its configuration somehow—you may be able to achieve your goal. | |

| Oct 4, 2013 at 20:58 | comment | added | M K | All USB devices provide a Vendor ID and Product ID. Beyond that, a serial number may also be provided. While this can be used to uniquely identify devices, it's not reliable (rogue devices can spoof these). | |
