EFF to Support Apple in Encryption Battle
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/02/eff-support-apple-encryption-battle
We learned on Tuesday evening that a U.S. federal magistrate
judge ordered Apple to backdoor an iPhone that was used by one
of the perpetrators of the San Bernardino shootings in December.
Apple is fighting the order which would compromise the security
of all its users around the world. We are supporting Apple here
because the government is doing more than simply asking for
Apple's assistance. For the first time, the government is
requesting Apple write brand new code that eliminates key
features of iPhone security--security features that protect us
all. Essentially, the government is asking Apple to create a
master key so that it can open a single phone. And once that
master key is created, we're certain that our government will
ask for it again and again, for other phones, and turn this
power against any software or device that has the audacity to
offer strong security.
