Where does macOS store file open intent paths ? (TCC)
Hello, It is possible to restrict Documents folder access with TCC. But when an applications shows a standard "file open" dialog, it is possible to access this directory to open a file. macOS allows file access in this case because it is an intentional action from user. So i suppose there is a kind of whitelist for all files path opened through "file open" dialog. I would like to know how i can access this whitelist and how i can remove entries. Thanks

Filevault encryption key on macOS
Hello, It is possible to encrypt a mac's hard-drive with Filevault. All home user folders are encrypted with the same encryption key. (This is the same encryption key for the whole hard-drive). This encryption key is encrypted with user password. But i don't understand how it works when there are multiple user accounts. Maybe there is a table: The same encryption key is stored several times (one per user account) ? Is there a way for a user to read the filevault encryption key ? Thanks

Safari microphone access
Hello, I am browsing with Safari. A website asks me to access my microphone (it is a Safari prompt dialog, not a system dialog). I am answering "yes, you can access to my microphone". Everything works fine, my microphone is allowed. Now, i am going to macOS system settings, in "Privacy & Security" section. I open "Microphone" sub section: And i don't see any entry for Safari. My question is ... Why ? Safari is accessing to my microphone at this moment and i don't see any grant information about this in system settings... Maybe apple allows his own softwares but this is not good for security... I hope it is not the same behaviour for full disk access grant... Thanks
