The National Agency for Safety American has a problem with Apple: the new iPhone 6 prevents them from violating the system. And they are only the first.

The loyal customers of Apple products these days are concerned about whether the new iPhone 6 will bend in your pocket. The National Security Agency and government agencies have a different problem: that the smartphone is the first of a generation of post-Edward Snowden that prevents them from violating the system.

Both the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have encryption enabled by default e-mail, photos and contacts on the basis of a complex mathematical algorithm that uses a code created by, and unique to, use of the telephone and of which, Apple says, can not be in possession.

Have most of the encrypted data, the company said, is that if Apple is sent to a court order in which you are asked to provide the contents of an iPhone 6 intelligence agencies or the forces of ‘order, the request can not be completed, because without the code used by the phone can not enter into the device. Investigators will have to get the code from the owner of the phone or break the code. Violate any code, according to Apple, it can take up to 2.1 years because you have to try all the combinations of a six-character alphanumeric code with lowercase letters and numbers. “

The FBI director, James B . Comey, at a press conference devoted in large part to the fight against terrorist threats by the Islamic state, he said: “What worries me about this marketing company [Apple] is that it expressly allows people to stay beyond of the law.. “He cited cases of kidnapping, in which the contents of a cell phone seized could lead to the search of a victim.

Apple declined to comment, while officials within the agencies intelligence say they fear such moves and that that of Apple, is only the first of a series of new technologies that are clearly designed to avoid not only the NSA, as well as all court orders.

In an open letter published last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple takes a “very different view” of privacy with respect to other Silicon Valley companies, who often do business by collecting and using customer information. “We do not build a profile based on your e-mail content or pages that you visit on the web by then sell to advertisers. Did not ‘monetizziamo’ information stored on your iPhone or in iCloud. And we do not read your email or your posts to get market information on you you, “Cook wrote in the letter, which was published on Apple’s website in the section devoted to the privacy policy of the company. The clarification comes after that CEO Tim Cook promised that Apple would take more stringent measures following the case of the account violated celebrities of Hollywood, which saw hackers come into possession (and publish on the web) of hundreds of private photos celebrities.
