Apple raises the bar of the challenge in the battle over privacy against the US government after his refusal to unlock the iPhone one of the authors of the San Bernardino massacre: its engineers have begun to develop new security measures that will make it impossible to access to a iPhone blocked using methods similar to those at the center of the legal dispute pending in the courts in California. He writes the New York Times citing sources close to the company and industry experts.
If Apple could strengthen its security system, and according to experts it succeeded, the company – says the NYT – will create a significant technological challenge for law enforcement and intelligence, even if the Obama administration were to win his legal battle on the iPhone aggressor San Bernadino. The FBI should find another way to circumvent the security of Apple, with a new cycle of litigation and technical corrections by the Cupertino company. The only way to get out of this confrontation, according to experts, will be an intervention of Congress, to clarify and define what are the possible obligations of computer companies.
armored iCloud for Cupertino . Even according to the Financial Times Apple would be working to strengthen the security of its systems. The British newspaper, citing sources close to the operation, reveals that the Cupertino company is working to lock iCloud, the cloud where the data of the users ‘backup’ are kept: personal information, pictures, email contact.
In this way Apple wants to make it harder to access by hackers, but also on the part of the investigating authorities. In practice, with the new Apple system put in place a mechanism that will make it impossible for the same company to grant the FBI or anyone else access to user data on its iCloud systems.
So far, those who are holding the investigations in the United States had the opportunity to ask a judge to order forcing Apple to go to the authorities the saved data and encrypted. Under the new system, Apple will no longer have access to the access keys encrypted in iCloud, and this means that customers who forget their passwords to iCloud will no longer have the ability to access personal data stored on the Apple system.
Tim Cook: “Software as a cancer.” Meanwhile, and as for the open questions, the CEO of Apple Tim Cook in an interview with the ABC network, said that forcing the release of iPhone is “the equivalent of cancer software.” “We are asking you to write a program that could expose people to heavy vulnerabilities,” said Cook, “One thing that would be bad for America, and that it could establish a precedent that I would put many people in danger.”
the number one FBI: “It would not “we’re not trying to set a precedent”: so said James Comey, the number one of the FBI, in a ‘hearing in Congress. A few hours before the deadline for submission of documents to court by Apple, Comey back on the case pressed by MPs. “The code that the judge has ordered Apple to write only work for quell’iphone”. Comey, who said to “love the privacy,” he said before the intelligence committee of the chamber that “unlikely” the case of San Bernardino “will serve as a trailblazer.”
