Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horoscope Fish" data-source="post: 534861" data-attributes="member: 13090">I don't recall saying that at all. I said, in my last post, The iOS processor does not "verify security". I went on to say security routines are handled by hardware that is isolated, and physically separate from, the iOS and its processor. I then went on to explain why a hardware debugger can NOT bypass the physically isolated encryption hardware of the iPhone and how its encryption hardware requires manual input to be satisified. I don't see how any of that implies Apple, "could not possibly comply with the court order". .....The FBI came to Apple because the FBI can't unravel the iPhones encryption without Apple's help. If the FBI could have done so, they would have, but they can't: not even with hardware debuggers because, as I've been saying over and over, the encryption is designed, specifically, to thwart such measures. So... We're back to the FBI not being able to crack this iPhone themselves so they want Apple to unravel it for them and by any means necessary. Apple said, "No," because Apple doesn't want to create a backdoor that does not currently exist and could easily escape the purview of the FBI. Apple clearly believes they are within their right's to defy the court order because they think the request itself is unconstitutional. Apple CEO Tim Cook states: "For many years, we have used encryption to protect our customers’ personal data because we believe it’s the only way to keep their information safe. We have even put that data out of our own reach, because we believe the contents of your iPhone are none of our business." Emphasis mine. Yes, Apple *could* create "FBiOS" but again, that would be letting the proverbial Genie out of the Bottle and Apple thinks they have the law on their side. The FBI, clearly, thinks otherwise.</blockquote>
