Google from the Apple . Against the US authorities, who have asked the home Cupertino to provide the technology to force the ‘ iPhone that belonged to one of the killers of the San Bernardino . An instance against which the CEO of Apple Tim Cook has opposed firmly. On the same wavelength also Sundar Pichai , the number one search engine: “A worrying precedent” wrote Twitter . The statement came after Edward Snowden , the ‘mole’ of the Nsa , has announced, also on the popular social network, its support for Cook’s decision and asked Google to take a location of what he called “the most important technology event of the last decade.” Appeal arrived at the destination. With a few caveats, it is not insignificant. Pichai acknowledged, however, that “the police and intelligence agencies face significant challenges in protecting citizens from crime and terrorism ” and recalled that “we give access to law enforcement data on the basis of valid legal orders “. Words from which we understand that the request of the authorities is in all respects illegal . “It ‘something completely different – explained the CEO Google – require the company to make possible actions of hacking of the devices and customer data, could be a precedent worrying “he concluded, calling for” a thorough and open debate on this question important. “
diametrically opposite socket than that assumed by the candidates to the republican primaries for the US presidency. If yesterday Donald Trump came out in favor of “forcing” ( “Those who believe that they have to open the iPhone,” he said), it is now the turn of his opponent Ted Cruz push the drastic solution. According to him, in fact, Apple should be forced to create a ‘ backdoor ‘ to decrypt the iPhone. Ben Carson and Marco Rubio , on the other hand, called for a table between the government and the big web and hi-tech for groped to find all the common solutions. Regardless of the different opinions and interests at stake, the fact remains that the issue has fallen in the middle of the presidential campaign and soon could also arrive at the US Supreme Court . In this framework, to record the location of Josh Earnest , the spokesman for the White House , which has stated that the Department of Justice is asking Apple to access to a single instrument, to redesign its products or to “create a new backdoor of its products.”
What we see, then, a battle political and technological unprecedented in its scope and its possible effects on the privacy in the world, with Chinese already at the window to see how it will end the dispute. The standoff falls in the midst of a debate already very heated between the White House and Internet giants after the revelations of Edward Snowden, the ‘mole’ of the Datagate . On the one hand the government, which would like free access to the data contained in mobile , computer and tablet in the event of violations of the law, or those alleged . Google on the other hand, Apple, Facebook and all the gurus of the Silicon Valley that are clearly opposed, although recently there was a meeting to find a common ground may allow investigators to obtain crucial information on possible terrorist attacks , without compromising customer confidentiality of computer companies. But the road that divides the technological users’ privacy and the interests of the governments is still very long and winding: the case Apple-San Bernardino can do school, indicating a direction.
the FBI believes that the data contained in the iPhone d Rizwan Syed Farook , the jihadist sympathizer author of the massacre later killed by police along with an accomplice wife can finally make clarity on certain aspects of the massacre still very mysterious. This is why the federal judge Sheri Pym was convinced to issue the order against Apple, which since September 2014 has installed on their devices a system inviolable security , with deletion of data after inserting ten times of incorrect unlock codes. Apple substance should create an ad hoc version of the operating system iOS to unlock the phone, a sort of key mat will disable the protection function to enable investigators a groped access using endless password (up to 10 thousand combinations) or trying to decrypt the contents: in short, a “brute force” attack. But the Cupertino company, which also wants to protect his reputation in the field of encryption , is opposed, as announced on its website with a hard note signed by the same Cook .
“we have no sympathy for the terrorists,” wrote Cook, “we are challenging the application of the ‘ FBI with the deepest respect for American democracy and love for our Country “. In his view, “the US government demanded that Apple make an unprecedented step that threatens the safety of our customers,” with “implications that go beyond the legal case in question.” In short, an “excess.” Apple has partnered with the FBI during the inquiries , ensures to, “but now the US government has asked us something that simply does not have, and which we consider too dangerous to create. They were asked to create a login secondary iPhone “. “In the wrong hands, this software – which currently does not exist – would have the potential to unlock any iPhone physically in possession of someone,” Cook wrote. He adds: “build a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would create undoubtedly a ‘backdoor’. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee that control. ” But for the White House is an individual case.
