I've been saying this for a while:
The "master key" that apple is warning about, the "backdoor", already exists. The master key is Apple's ability to sign a new version of IOS, and update the software on a locked iPhone.
The Federal government isn't asking Apple to create a backdoor. Their asking apple to use the backdoor that already exists.
And now the FBI may simply demand apple hands over the signing key, providing them with the backdoor that apple already has.
- always_wrong 11y agoAgain, that is not true. You continue to spread incorrect information.
- rimantas 11y agoYou may think long and hard about the meaning of the word "backdoor". A hint: it does not mean "any possible way to get access".
- dkopi 11y agoYou're right. But a master key that can be used to load new software to password protected phones without entering your password first is a backdoor. Even if it wasn't intentionally put there to be used as a backdoor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)
