Apple and the FBI to appear Tuesday in court in America because the FBI wants access to the iPhone that is used by one of the shooters of the massacre in San Bernardino. The government agency wants Apple a ‘loophole’ allows the iPhone, so the FBI has access to the data on the device. Apple has so far refused. The case attracting worldwide attention.
The FBI wants the case with Apple access to the iPhone 5 from terrorist Syed Farook, who killed fourteen people with his wife in December. The iPhone 5 managed information automatically if someone makes too many attempts to retrieve the password. The FBI wants Apple software makes that allow them to circumvent this and so many attempts to do if needed.
Apple refuses and says that this software can not be made to any iPhone. In the wrong hands would be as access to other devices can be obtained.
It is notable that Apple Wednesday new documents contributor to court, which the FBI claims were brought down. So the FBI appealed to the All Writs Act does, which can enforce US courts that orders are followed. However, according to Apple, this law does not apply in this case because there is already another law that goes against it here.
In the documents, Apple explained that the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the requirement of the FBI prohibits. In this law is when companies must create systems to help the government in an investigation, and if they can not require it.
Since Apple does his advantage, because according to that law are telecommunications providers like Apple ,, not responsible for the hacking of any form of communication that is encrypted by a subscriber or customer. ” in addition, vendors do not have to ensure that the government can decipher the information. However, this applies only if the company has not offered himself encryption and does not have the information needed to remove the encryption. In theory, therefore invalidate the claim of the FBI and Apple win the case.
Meanwhile, several major players in this field expressed their support to Apple. Include Google and Facebook are behind the company, but also allow former directors of the NSA and Homeland Security know to be on Apple’s side.
Several experts, including the presidential security adviser Richard A. Clarke, moreover, say that the FBI probably could have gone to the NSA to get help in cracking the iPhone. The FBI did not do this, so it now seems that they want to set a precedent not just want to hack an iPhone. In addition, the FBI has now admitted that there is a chance that there is nothing of substance on that phone is.
If the FBI still win the case against Apple, they will come fairly quickly against another obstacle. The employees of the technological giant are already talking about what they will do if wins the FBI. Some say that they would rather cancel their well-paid jobs, then they have the security that they have made make worse. Among these people may include technicians who have made the security and products.
Apple and the FBI have Tuesday at nine pm (Dutch time) to appear in court.
