For now, we don't have to but that is in the balance right now. Apple hasn't won in both fights against FBI, the cases were dropped because FBI found a working method to break into the devices. That's just the FBI, the NSA has been doing worse and we don't even know what other agencies have done.
Recall the Lavasoft case, they were forced to shut down because they refuse to give up their encryption keys or build in a backdoor.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI mostly agree with that. Hence, my saying people should do business elsewhere for this. ;) That said, Lavabit case is special as that's not why they were forced to close down. They had to close down because the arrogant prick with "banking grade security" chose to protect all user accounts via one SSL key. Usually, they can just use one tap/query or one set of keys for the users they target. In his case, he had to compromise all of them to comply with the request due to his own bad design.
