UK intends to force Apple to unveil iOS encryption

A little over a month ago, a bill was promoted in the United Kingdom that could significantly change the way Apple cares about our security on iOS devices. Thanks to this future Law, they could ask Apple to unveil iOS encryption. However, Apple has already been quite opposed to this type of requests, especially in the United States where it has cost more than a displeasure with the public administrations for their refusal to collaborate with the justice by opening back doors on their devices or unlocking them. to collect information from some of its users.

Apple has argued that this bill would harm citizens who comply with the rules, and would be like killing flies with gunshots, paying fair for sinners. In addition, Apple has already reported that it is impossible to maintain the security of a device if they install back doors so that the authorities can access at will without requiring court orders. Until now this iron position of Apple has been unshakable, but the constitution of this Law would oblige them to collaborate with public administrations in this area, compromising the security and privacy of iOS devices around the world.

Tim Cook commented yesterday that this project threatens all citizens who behave in accordance with the rules of coexistence, that the creation of these back doors would compromise the privacy of all iOS clients worldwide and make them lose the trust they have deposited in the brand. According to him, any process that weakens the mathematical models that protect user data, by extension weaken the overall privacy protection of the same. We are not surprised by this position on the part of the CEO of Apple, who has always spoken out against this type of practice on the part of the Justice.
