[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 534609, member: 13090"] I'm familiar with hardware debuggers and asking a program animator to handle this is akin to asking a Lego set to hack into the Pentagon. The chip that contains the encryption chip (assuming there's only one) is, to use Apple parlance, "enclaved" meaning it operates as an isolated system. Only after this system is satisfied is an "all clear" signal sent to the CPU allowing the phone to operate. If the solution was as easy as running down to the local Radio Shack do you really think the FBI would be filing a court order demanding Apple re-write their operating system to allow the FBI to get what they want? Or that Apple do FOR them what they can't do themselves and do so, "at a reasonable cost"? Even the court order makes it clear the FBI is aware the technology to do what they're asking may not yet exist. So, simply put, the technology to do what the FBI is demanding does not (at this point in time) exist, there's no way around it, the Feds are totally pissed off about that and want Apple to [I]create [/I]the necessary technology, [I]implement [/I]that technology and too [I]provide [/I]it to the FBI for their use.
