This would be a totally new software solution, and is completely different from what happens with things like wiretapping where the company already knows how to do it. They can't order a private company to develop a novel invention simply because they really really want one.

and it's still not a backdoor and it still doesn't weaken or break the encryption

if your complaint is that the government exists and law enforcement can compel people to cooperate, you've got bigger problems

the strength of an encryption is the totality of the system not just the algorithm and if you make it easier to break into the phone the encryption is effectively weakened

could Apple play a constant cat and mouse and weaken this one but then constantly change the way encryption works so anyone on iOS 10 for example the same system wouldn't work?

lol itunes connect. i start typing in a field and it autocompletes. im okay with this so I hit enter. it submits the whole form. "error, you didn't fill out all the fields in the form! Also we cleared the fields you did fill out because gently caress you."

i fill them all out again being careful not to press enter. then I click the submit button. "Error, an error occurred, click here to return to the iTC homepage, gently caress you" :pram:

i don't know how many time this has to be said before you idiots comprehend this. disabling pin lockouts and removing pin delays does not in any way shape or form remove, bypass, backdoor, disable, alter, or weaken the encryption.

it does weaken the security of the device, no argument. but the encryption itself is unchanged.

yeah I don't really see it as weakening encryption, they just want to brute force the passcode. i presume the only reason they're doing that rather than dumping the storage is because the decryption keys are also in the secure enclave

http://www.maricopacountyattorney.org/newsroom/news-releases/2016/2016-02-24-MCAO-to-Discontinue-Providing-Apple-iPhones-to-Employees.html

PHOENIX – Effective immediately, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will discontinue providing iPhones as option for replacements or upgrades for existing employees. Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery announced the decision today, first communicated to applicable staff on Sunday, February 21, citing Apple’s recent refusal to cooperate in unlocking an encrypted iPhone used by individuals involved in the recent San Bernardino shootings.

“Apple’s refusal to cooperate with a legitimate law enforcement investigation to unlock a phone used by terrorists puts Apple on the side of terrorists instead of on the side of public safety,” Montgomery said. “Positioning their refusal to cooperate as having anything to do with privacy interests is a corporate PR stunt and ignores the 4th Amendment protections afforded by our Constitution.”

Apple Is Said to Be Working on an iPhone Even It Can’t Hack

kind of a stupid headline since that's already what they tried to make, but apparently they're making it even harder in response to the governments BS

funny because there's currently a tonne of ways they can hack a phone, and they do help, but now that option may go away due to their audacity here

it's a 5c, so it doesn't have the same secure enclave as 5s and newer phones. presumably this is being done because they've decided they need a lawful process by which they can retrieve data from secured phones. this is more about process than anything else and that's why the furious pearl clutching going on is hilarious.

they still need a pin to decrypt the data
on a per-phone basis, they need a court order and a one-off custom firmware from apple
every single time

security is not encryption, encryption is not security, if you believe otherwise you have no business pontificating about either. words have meanings, use them properly

if i'm not mistaken, the secure enclave just has to do with finger prints. nothing else.

the phone itself is encrypted so the data can't just be read by removing the storage chips and reading them. and the phone will wipe itself if there's too many bad attempts.

they want apple to remove the feature that wipes the phone after bad attempts.
