The Justice Department is turning to a 225-year-old law to tackle a very modern problem: password-protected cellphones.
Prosecutors last month persuaded a federal magistrate in Manhattan to order an unnamed phone maker to provide “reasonable technical assistance” to unlock a password-protected phone that could contain evidence in a credit-card-fraud case, according to court filings. The court had approved a search warrant for the phone three weeks earlier. The phone maker, its operating system and why the government has not been able to unlock it remain under seal.
The little-noticed case could offer hints for the government’s strategy to counter new encryption features from Apple Inc. and Google Inc., say privacy advocates and people familiar with such cases say.

Generally speaking, using encryption on public nets makes you suspicious.
Best to speak privately and face to face.

If it was a terrorist case, I’ll bet the CIA could manage to get the password....don’t want to tell us? We have ways....
That’s not years...that’s more time than has elapsed sin the beginning of the universe. Even if you could try a billion passwords a second , that’s only a couple quadrillion a year.
Nothing electronic is safe. Period!!

Combine it (2 A) and they’ll be using the phone as a brick for at least 2 millenia. ..

It depends on the complexity of the chosen passcode. Apple allows 256 character in the passcode and the characters can be any of the 227 the user can access normally through the keyboard. The only limitation Apple places is that the user may not repeat the same character twice consecutively, for example, XOX is OK, but XXO would not be allowed. Simple numeric passcodes can be only four digits. . . Stupid to use, of course. . . of which there are only 9,999 total combinations, that could be broken before I finished typing the word "broken." But a really complex pass phrase would take as long as you say.
Unfortunately for you, I was able to decode your secret binary message.
It decodes to: My hovercraft is full of eels.
Better luck next time.
