My opinion is that Apple should be using an encryption scheme for which there is no backdoor entry. Why did Apple include a backdoor even though they haven’t implemented the backdoor opener yet. Why haven’t they already implemented it?
My guideline is, if I had super-secret information, don’t keep it on a cell phone.
There is no backdoor. That’s the point. The government is basically ordering them to find a way to hack their own device.
Apple was the first to use 256 bit AES encryption on their iOS devices. Why do you think the FBI and the NSA and the Federal government is powerless to get at the data on this iPhone? Apple has NOT included a backdoor opener and the data on the iPhone IS encrypted. All Apple has been ordered to do at this point is defeat the iPhone 5C's automatic data erasure protection after 10 attempts at brute force guessing the pass code to unlock the device fail.
Yes. Better yet, don't own a cell phone. I know obnoxious relatives that my wife keeps tabs on. They tweet and post everything on their cell phone - everything they see and do, when they go on vacation, private information, what they purchase and own, etc. We know more about their habits than they do. We are more private, because it's not just super-secret information you need to keep from prying eyes. You don't need to yell at someone to stay off your lawn if you have a fence around it and keep the gate locked.
