I would really like to add Tor support to ArcBit, but as mentioned above there isn’t yet a perfect solution to easily integrate Tor into iOS apps. I would only be willing to integrate Tor if there is an official high level Tor library for iOS where I can simply drag and drop into ArcBit and use easily with high confidence of it’s security.
There is no syncing of wallet data in ArcBit. All your private keys are stored on your device and they do not leave ArcBit (unless you choose to use iCloud). You can check what data gets sent over the network by looking in the APIs folder of ArcBit.
ArcBit uses the RNCryptor library to handing the encryption of the wallet data before storing it in the iPhone file system. In addition ArcBit also stores your BIP39 passphrase it the iPhone keychain.
Got it, thanks for the response. (sorry, I read the reply ages ago, but forgot to acknowledge it!)
Hi, I'd posted an issue with Breadwallet about the following, as well as separately let Airbitz know, so I thought I'd also mention it to ArcBit, since you are upping the ante!
First, has there been any work or thinking done on Tor for ArcBit (iOS)? I've noticed a Tor implementation by a single app on iOS (ChatSecure), which allegedly supports Tor right now.
ChatSecure, as of version 3.0 on Jan. 5, 2015, has had Tor support. See here: https://chatsecure.org/blog/chatsecure-ios-v3-released/

Downsides of Tor support in ArcBit:
Second, on another note, how does ArcBit encrypt its data, if at all, or does it only rely on iPhone's encrypted storage?
I ask because of ChatSecure's notes on 'encrypted storage', where they say:
Can, or should, the same approach be used to 'better' encrypt ArcBit data on iOS?
