seriously though, how easy is it to crack like a 12 alphanumeric non-dictionary based 256 bit aes encrypted stuff? is it on the same level of WEP for wifi?

there's no evidence or even a suggestion that they've found a flaw in the encryption itself. so, nothing like wep

the whole reason they want to be able to enter pins over the lightning connection is because they still have to brute force the pin to get in, and they don't have a cool robot that pokes the screen with a stylus

Shortly after the its acquisition of Sharp was announced, Foxconn put the deal on hold after "discovering previously undisclosed liabilities." Foxconn said it would not sign off on the deal until terms had been clarified. At issue is hundreds of billions of yen in liabilities which Sharp will need to resolve before the deal is finalized.

it's really convenient to handwave away the specifics of the fbi's request to make it fit into a narrative about erosion of privacy rights, as apple has done

but what the fbi has requested is very intentionally limited in scope. they need judicial approval to request apple make a firmware, tied to a single device via its IMEI. the firmware cannot be modified by the fbi to remove the IMEI requirement as the phones will only accept signed firmware, and the fbi does not have apple's signing keys. the phones do not allow the IMEI to be modified or spoofed. the firmware does not change the encryption of the data in any way, the pin must still be discovered and entered for the data to be readable.

the fbi must go through this process for each and every phone they wish to access, meaning they need a warrant from a judge and a custom firmware from apple for each phone

also, the cops had a judge say it's okay to kick in the window and shoot them.

Opening a bank vault is a normal part of what a bank does. Bypassing the security like the govt is asking apple to do would be something totally new that isn't a part of Apple's everyday business. If they were asking to reset a password or something, yeah, you're right, but that's not what this case is.

no, that's exactly it. but because it's tech and apple has framed it like they're being asked to hand out a master key to everything everywhere, people are arguing about something that has already existed for decades like it's the end of the world

Nah. The idea that the govt can force a company to perform new services and/or invent new products simply because they want it so much sets a really bad precedent.

i absolutely agree. but that's not what's being advertised here. this has nothing to do with privacy or encryption, but that's what people are defending/opposing this based on, because that's how apple's pr has framed it

yeah the ultimate ironing here is that apple has already given the NSA unfettered access to your data without any court order and nobody cares but the fbi taking the proper legal course for a single phone is apparently the apocalypse

saying that a company must break into their products if asked is a de-facto ban on making unbreakable things. if you want to ban something it should be a law and politicians should vote on it so they can be accountable when people realize it was a bad idea all along
