“You don’t purposefully build a weakness into a secure system, and there is no such thing as only certain people have access to the break method.”

Encryption isn’t at stake, the FBI knows Apple already has the desired key

Whether you call it a “backdoor” or not, it’s important to recognize that the ordered changes to the iPhone operating system would not circumvent the core of the iPhone’s encryption. The court isn’t asking Apple to defeat the encryption in any way. Nor does the court require Apple to create a vulnerability that would jeopardize the security of any other phone. Rather, it’s asking Apple to do the one thing that Apple alone can do: use the iPhone’s built-in method of installing firmware written by Apple.

“Last Tuesday, Fight for the Future, an advocacy group, quickly organized a pro-Apple rally at the Apple Store on Stockton Street in downtown San Francisco. Representatives from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a few dozen people showed up on short notice, so the groups are expanding their efforts.”

You should do a hook up with these other anti-government liberal activists. They hat America and the Constitution, too.

They would probably appreciate your support.

Encryption is exactly what’s at stake. All encryption can be brute forced. The only variable is time. The protection of the system is limited life, based on improper pass key.

Apple doesn’t have a magic key to decrypt their phones, the FBI knows that. What they have is a certificate that signs their software... Thus they can load a NOT created software OS they have not written... The end result is the same. The FBI images the disk 100,000 times sends to AWS or other compute farms and runs pass cracking on it. Again the FEDS have the right to break it, I’m not disagreeing with that... Compelling a 3rd party to help you... I say NO!
