Apple ‘locks down’ the iPhone, “They can not force us to release” – ANSA.it

The Apple locks down the iPhone and raises its game in the battle over privacy against the US government. With firm refusal by a party to unlock the iPhone one of the authors of the massacre of San Bernardino, ( “we can not force, violates the constitutional rights”) and instructed his engineers to develop new security measures that will make it impossible access to a locked iPhone using methods similar to those at the center of the legal battle that is being fought before the courts in California. Hold commissioned by Apple to lock down its systems speaks to the New York Times, citing sources close to the company and industry experts, and even the Financial Times reported that Apple is working to strengthen its systems, such as lock down iCloud for example, in order to make it harder to breach by hackers but in fact raised an insurmountable wall for the investigating authorities.

Then he seemed to reach a sort of confirmed also by the Cook who, in an interview with abc, showed determination to go “all the way” in the case of the phone of the San Bernardino killer, saying he was ready to have recourse to the Supreme Court if necessary. Why, in your opinion, what Washington calls in this case – that force the release of the iPhone indicted – is “the equivalent of cancer software.” and “which may expose people to heavy vulnerabilities.”

A danger to be avoided, according to the number one of Apple, who said he was ready to talk to the administration, with Barack Obama in person, by resolve the matter in the best way. Meanwhile, in the documentation filed in court with which explains his refusal to the FBI’s request to release the Apple iPhone in the San Bernardino killer, points out that in his opinion and ‘a’ forcing ‘unacceptable,’ cause ” purple constitutional rights ” he said. And asking the court to cancel the order of release, Cupertino accused the FBI of wanting to acquire a ” dangerous power ”. At stake is a broader issue: the balance between security and privacy.

So if Apple could strengthen its security system – and according to experts has all the elements to do so – what It would constitute the most significant technological challenge so far to the police and intelligence. This even though the Obama administration were to win his legal battle on the iPhone aggressor San Bernadino, because to cover any tight Apple will also need to develop new legislative tools, making inevitable the involvement of the Congress, which would It called to define what are the possible obligations of the computer companies in such cases. Meanwhile, the federal agency head tried to throw water on the fire: “We’re not trying to set a precedent,” he assured the FBI director James Comey in a congressional hearing. Yet, he noted, the case Apple “we need a broad debate at the national level: the FBI has to explain the costs of privacy.”

Google and Facebook side with Apple in the battle against ‘FBI who asked to Cupertino to unlock the iPhone of the San Bernardino killer. This was reported by the CNBC citing some sources, according to which the two giants will present in court motions to Apple support. To support Apple would also tweeted that, according to rumors, will submit a ‘friendly’ the motion in court in support of Cupertino. Silicon Valley is so compact to Apple’s support and for its refusal to the FBI’s request to release the iPhone in the San Bernardino killer. Apple believes that the request violates the constitutional rights, especially the first and the fifth amendment. The request is ” unprecedented ” and ” not supported by law. This is not a case involving a single iPhone. No court has never authorized what the government is trying now, no law supports such an unlimited use of the judicial process ”.
