Apparently you know very little about software development, cryptography and the like. It is probably technically possible to do what is being asked, but it is a lot more complicated than just recompiling some code with a few tweaks.
Ask the Courts. It has been standard practice to insist on cooperation from Telephone companies since the 1900s, and Banks since probably 1788.
Yes, to use the existing technology to assist. Not to require them to develop something new.
Why, does Apple encrypt their code while their coders are writing it? Seems like that would make it D@mn near impossible to get anything done. :)
No, the code is written, than ran through their encryption mess, but at the top level, it is straightforward readable code.
Yes, to use the existing technology to assist. Not to require them to develop something new.
And there you go again with that "develop something new" dodge. Every time they recompile it is "something new."
If you know how to write code, you know that recompiling and creating version "New.x" is nothing.
