So given a locked iPhone, you are able to extract its private key?

  Exactly. Why do software engineers (myself included) so often confuse what is possible with what is practical?
  • craftinator 6y ago
    We do that because our job in general is to ignore current practical limitations. The line between practical and impractical changes based on what we make; the job is all about creating solutions that either make a goal more practical, or improving the efficiency of a standing process. This isn't just a problem with software engineers, but most engineering disciplines. It's impractical to transport logs hundreds of miles for processing, until we create a system that can do it efficiently. It's impractical to keep detailed records of billions of transactions, until we set up a database and reporting infrastructure that can handle that load.

  No, but you are able to hook another device up to the battery so that the iPhone is wrong about its own power usage and phones home with incorrect values.

  iPhones are a 15 year effort by a trillion-dollar market cap company to produce secure hardware that retails for $1000, and still regularly gets hit with root exploits. This is your model for securing electric meters?
