Handing over the key is worse than being compelled to use it; that's perpetual compelled speech, where the government would be able to declare software trusted-by-Apple forever. Eroding public trust in digital signatures is an attack o

The world is very different once compelled speech is accepted, i.e. when the government can force you to use a signing key to produce a digital signature expressing trust in software you didn't voluntarily write and don't actual

And that'll only get worse if the FBI succeeds in compelling a US technology company to sign something they don't trust.

This was his employer's phone, right? As in, it was government-owned property being used in the course of terrorism. Were they using Apple's Mobile Device Management (MDM) framework or some other form of key escrow? If not, why sh

And it'd seem to open the floodgates for certificate authorities to be compromised as well. What's to stop the FBI from compelling a CA to create a special MITM certificate for a criminal investigation of a Yahoo user?

When we took this, IIRC, the primary perceived risk wasn't necessarily the government coming after us, but rather the school or teachers finding out.

I took this survey about 18 years ago, a year or two after it was introduced. The rather-small class, on the whole, answered with completely made-up information and joked about it afterward. I can't say that fear of retaliation was the

I suspect the parent meant $5 per sale; if you were selling millions of copies of papers, you'd have a substantial editing and design budget.

If you paste this link in to Facebook as if you're going to share it, the page title in the summary box ends up reading "Service Interruption" with no other text. I can't think of anything more appropriate.

Yeah, I get that feeling too. The idea that someone exposed to a traumatic event (e.g. rape, child abuse) could immediately given a single dose of a drug that would prevent a possible 30-40 years of painful PTSD is, honestly, pretty compell
