| Signs of a new war between Apple and the US government |
The U.S. government is preparing a new battle with Apple to access encrypted iPhones. Although this round of negotiations revolves around deciphering the phone of an armed man suspected of contacting terrorists, the result can be determined as to how easy and easy it is for the government to access your phone.
Attorney General William Barr asked at a press conference for Apple to provide law enforcement officers with access to two phones connected to the December 2019 fire in Pensacola, Florida, to determine whether the shooter was linked to a terrorist organization, communications, or cooperation.
Due to the iPhone's security features, the function wipes data from the phone in case you enter a lot of incorrect six-digit passwords, so law enforcement cannot guess the correct number.
As Barr said at the meeting, general inquiries and complaints about Apple's lack of cooperation is another pressure document the company is bound by: We asked Apple for help unlocking the phone but we didn't do much to help.
Apple said in a statement to Recode: "This position explains, for possible reasons, that it is important to allow the public to receive digital evidence after receiving a court order, and we refuse to accept it because it is of relative relevance to the Pensacola investigation. Aid Announcement."
Microsoft said it helped the FBI investigate the footage, respond quickly and repeatedly to all requests within hours, and exchange information with the FBI in Jacksonville, Pensacola, and New York.
Apple said the requests resulted in the sending of GB information to investigators and that every case had responded with all the information, but made it clear that it did not intend to inform the government of the American way to decrypt iPhone devices.
She said: We have always believed that only by providing back doors and the like for good people, those back doors can be used by those who display our national security and our customer data security. People should choose between weakening encryption and resolving investigations, and we firmly believe that encryption is necessary to protect our country’s data and user data.
This is reflected in the fact that four years ago FBI denied permission to shoot a closed iPhone in San Bernardino. The FBI received a court order in 2016 that Apple had to create back doors on all of its encrypted devices so that agents could place the order. The Ministry has the right to use it.
Apple Corps has rejected a court order stating that protecting the privacy and safety of its customers, including in countries such as Russia and China, is more important than regulatory requirements, and the American Civil Liberties Union appears to be doing so, and I agree surveillance advisor Jennifer Granic says). Cyber Security: The government's demands will weaken the security of millions of iPhones, which is dangerous and unconstitutional.
"Working against religious minorities who commit acts of genocide, such as the Uighurs in China, have a strong symbol that allows them to communicate in peace with each other and with the outside world," she added.
The Prosecutor has now resumed the debate, and if the case is closed, the implications of this decision may go beyond the gunman's phone, and that's exactly what Apple has always said, so if the government manages to force the phone to decode or insert a back door into the back door of it and its products. Nothing prevents the government from accessing every device.
