APPLE ENCRYPTION BATTLE - Big Brother Wants The Encryption Keys To The Kingdom

“First of all, Apple ought to give the security for that phone,” Trump told a crowd of supporters. “What I think you ought to do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number… who do they think they are?” The October refusal bewildered New York prosecutors, who claimed the iPhone maker “complied” with at least 70 other requests to unlock suspects’ phones,Motherboard reported at the time. Each request was made under the All Writs Act, a 1789 statute that grants federal courts broad power to issue “necessary or appropriate” writs. But for Apple, this is a battle that extends well past one iPhone. Apple sells a lot of things – 74.7m iPhones in the last quarter, for example – but its biggest selling point these days is privacy. The protests organized by the Internet rights group Fight for the Future are scheduled to occur Tuesday outside Apple stores in the US, the UK, Hong Kong and Germany. Apple is fighting the court order issued in the case, arguing that the special software sought by the could be used to break into millions of other iPhones.

"The government suggests this tool could only be used once, on one phone. But that's simply not true. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks from restaurants and banks to stores and homes. No reasonable person would find that acceptable. No matter how you slice this pie, if the government succeeds in getting this back door, it will eventually get a back door into all encryption, and our world, as we know it, is over. tim cook steve jobs With all due respect to Tim Cook and Apple, I work with a team of the best hackers on the planet. These hackers attend Defcon in Las Vegas, and they are legends in their local hacking groups, such as HackMiami. They are all prodigies, with talents that defy normal human comprehension. About 75% are social engineers. The remainder are hardcore coders. Cook has made clear the fight for privacy is in some ways a personal one.
