No matter how much "reasonable technical assistance" Apple is ordered to provide in getting into an encrypted iOS device, it will not succeed. Unless Apple or the government has the user's passcode, they'd have to use brute force to decode the 256 bit encryption. . . which could take years. I cannot see that "reasonable" would require redesigning all devices to allow the access to a few. — PING!


Apple Security by Encryption Ping!
