the technology giants and the US government are firmly committed to a showdown on the protection of data stored on deemed inviolable phones, Apple has received support from Google in the case of a cell linked to the attack of San Bernardino.
> a US judge demanded Tuesday that Apple helps the federal police (FBI) to access the encrypted content from the iPhone a radicalized perpetrators of the shooting of San Bernardino, which had killed 14 people early december in California.
Apple has since denounced a request “unprecedented”. It “threatens the security” of its customers and “has implications far beyond the legal framework of this case,” his boss Tim Cook.
He received the support of the boss of Google, Sundar Pichai, who estimated on Twitter that “force groups to allow hackers could compromise the privacy of users.”
“We design safe products to protect your information and give to law enforcement access to data on the basis of mandates legal valid, “he said.
“But this is completely different than asking groups to allow piracy devices and customer data. This could be a troubling precedent,” he firmly told the boss of Google, calling it “important” arguments Tim Cook.
Major technology companies like Apple or Google offer more tamper proof products and applications, which only the user holds the key.
They claim that this improved security is needed to maintain consumer confidence. Conversely, the authorities regret that these inviolable phones could help criminals and jihadists.
the US Congress, the debate over data encryption is stalled.
“This is a clever maneuver by the FBI to move the legislative field, where they do not win, to court “, so says Joseph Hall, the Center for democracy and technology, a group that defends the rights of Internet users.
The decision of the judge caused an outcry from civil libertarians, who see it as a breach allowing surveillance without limits in the United States and elsewhere.
“If the FBI could force Apple to hack devices of its own consumers, then all repressive regimes in the world could also be the “tip Alex Abdo, of the civil liberties defense Association (ACLU). “It is to the credit of Apple to stand firm on its commitment to offer tamper-proof devices to its customers”.
– “Protecting a dead terrorist” –
Everybody does is not of this opinion.
“the Department of Justice does not require Apple to change its product or create a backdoor to access any of their products,” insisted Josh Earnest, portfolio White House spokesman. “It simply asks something that would have an impact on this specific device.”
Barack Obama “believes in the principle of the protection of privacy and liberties of Americans,” he said, assuring the FBI and the Department of Justice “full support of the White House” in that folder
the head of the NYPD, Bill Bratton, went in the same direction. “You can not give those who seek to harm us the tools that allow them to keep their activities secret. “
” Apple chose to protect a terrorist of the Islamic state death over the American people, “thundered Tom Cotton, Republican Senator Arkansas, considering that at the refusal of Apple, “a law on the subject is likely the only way to solve this problem.”
the real question remains whether Apple can technically help the FBI, according to Joseph Lobby. “Apple does not have the keys, they are only on the chip of your device,” he says. “But they have probably capable software” to circumvent the encryption.
Nobody knows if Apple really is able to bypass the encryption keys, Darren Hayes also notes, computer criminology professor at Pace University. But “the fact that they challenge the judgment in this way makes me think they are able”
