For the people speculating about what the NSA can do, it does not matter. If the agency can get the phone open, they wont touch it , because this will end up in front of a court and its not worth divulging the capability.

There are countries that would welcome them in with open arms for the sheer amount of money they'd bring with them.   Make no mistake, corporations can and probably will become their own states eventually.

I agree. They might have already done it and used the Intel from it, but they will not let anyone else know.

I don't understand how people, especially our fucktarded government employees, don't get this.



The software the FBI wants Apple to use, to unlock this phone, DOES NOT EXIST.



They didn't make a back door. There is no magic "unlock this" code that fixes the phone so the FBI can see all the porn this douche canoe was looking at.



Can the .gov really force you to create something that doesn't exist specifically for their sole use?







It's worse than that.  Think like this:



First its Apple, then who is next ?  Who else could they force into this scheme ?



What if Apple refuses and they are no longer allowed to sell their products.  



What if Apple pulled a "Ford" and refused to sell .gov Apple products due to the current suit ?



Then Samsung ?   Then Sony ?  Who else ?

Their motive is to be able to unlock any phone at will, the dead terrorists phone conveniently fubared by the government is the leverage they need to get that ability.

This and also, corporations are generally using their talent to generate revenue for the company.   Universities are often using their talent for more traditional research purposes.  The NSA's goals are not aligned with either of those.

If you have ever wondered what a government would look like that is way to big and way to tyrannical look no further than the US federal government.

Any government big enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything you have. As much as I love my country and agree that it is the best place in the world for me, I never lose sight of the fact that in practice we are never more free than they allow us to believe we are. Our government has long forgotten that they work for us and not the other way around, something that I personally don't think will change until people start missing meals and wondering where all of their money has gone.

I tell you one thing: if we had to sit down and write out a check every month to the government like we do our mortgage, our whole world would look completely different than it does today.

I'm betting that NSA has machines unheard of in the unclassified world that can do the job in a few months.  If we're thinking about using one Cray XK7, NSA is probably ganging those together by the dozen to do the job. Remember, they've been working on 128 bit codes for over a decade already and have probably built some awesome machines to do the job.


I think you overestimate the extent to which the NSA has an advantage over the private and university labs working on this, and the extent of the cross-over between, say, NSA and places like the University of Maryland.

The NSA has plenty of secret techniques, I'm sure, but I doubt that they're ahead of the rest of the community in raw computing power.

This right here.  It's not just about the number of FLOPs you can crunch.  There is not a significant difference in how much energy each processor operation takes between one architecture and the next.  No matter what hardware I brute force on, it takes so many electrons to do each unit of work.  One computer may just run more operations per second.

The issue for decryption is that AES takes so many operations that there isn't enough energy on planet Earth to run a full brute force assuming current hardware was even fast enough.

So, no, NSA does not have special super fast whiz bang computational resources that can zip through brute forcing.

They MAY have mathematical shortcuts that can eliminate large swaths of possibilities or other crypto methods and knowledge they can bring to bear.

The last time NSA enjoyed a HUGE advantage was when they had discovered differential cryptanalysis before the rest of the world.  IBM stumbled upon it while developing DES but those guys were sworn to secrecy after NSA discovered the cat was out of the bag.

We all thought the tinfoil was too tight before Snowden made it clear the tinfoilists were right.

I fear the precedent this fight could set up, if it ultimately ends up as the SCOTUS ruling "yep, the .gov can force you to provide a service and create a product".

Some .gov Lawyer: "Well, since the government is paying the developers, while they force them to provide a product under threat of imprisonment, fines or both, it's not technically slavery, see?"

Apple should issue a press release; "In 7 days Apple will discontinue the release of all updates and support for current Apple products, cease selling all new Apple products in the US, and we will shut down iTunes and the Apple Store until the US government backs off.  Apple customers upset by this should contact their Congressmen and Senators to demand the government cease its thuggish action against Apple, and we urge our customers to remember this is an election year and vote accordingly."

Apple has the reach and power to politically nuke Washington, and in this case I'd love to see them spin up millions of Apple users into DEFCON1.

but they do know something about the cryptology involved. They know the universe of partial keys for both sets of values.  The processors have a know hardware ID range. This eliminates a lot of possibilities.

they are not factoring blindly. this reduces the pool of solutions.  Depending on what the POST activities are when the phone is booted after being powered off, it may be possible to make some determinations that further reduce the universe of potential key values.

they know when the phone was assembled. they know (or can guess the lead times for the components arriving at the factory) they can reduce the range of possible chip ID's from this.

so the amount of energy involved isn't insurmountable.

nor would it be impossible for them.

just comes down to how much effort is it worth.

"The question we now have to ask is: If technologically it is possible to make an impenetrable device or system where the encryption is so strong that there is no key, there's no door at all, then how do we apprehend the child pornographer, how do we solve or disrupt a terrorist plot?" he said.


Detective work, dumbass.

"What mechanisms do we have available to even do simple things like tax enforcement because if in fact you can't crack that at all, government can't get in, then everybody is walking around with a Swiss bank account in their pocket."


Use the mechanism of the IRS. And everybody should have a Swiss bank account in their pocket, because the predatory, confiscatory US Government can't be trusted.

No doubt.   What they have is probably decades ahead of what we know about.
The F-117a was secret for quite a while before the public knew about it.


There's no university/private equivalent of an F-117.

Where do you think all that "stealth" shit came from?  Sure as hell wasn't some GS drone.

Have apple unlock the phone for the feds.

Then 24 hours later release a new ios with a completely different encryption system.

For the people speculating about what the NSA can do, it does not matter. If the agency can get the phone open, they wont touch it , because this will end up in front of a court and its not worth divulging the capability.

Ding.

But the gov is pretty good at the "parallel construction" game.  

Regardless, I think the gov is making way too many assumptions about what they'll find on that phone, and their OCD is in full control.  Just let it go.  I'd bet good money there is absolutely nothing of any value on it.

An hour later a new Court Order is on Tim Cook's desk ordering Apple to provide the same tool for the new iOS.

It never was about this phone or these people.  It is the perfect case they have been waiting for to assert pressure for forcing businesses to assist in their investigations.

I don't understand how people, especially our fucktarded government employees, don't get this.

The software the FBI wants Apple to use, to unlock this phone, DOES NOT EXIST.

They didn't make a back door. There is no magic "unlock this" code that fixes the phone so the FBI can see all the porn this douche canoe was looking at.

Can the .gov really force you to create something that doesn't exist specifically for their sole use?

If Apple is willing to make them use force by not lifting a finger to comply, even in the face of corporate destruction, that might cause a pause... or not, but either way something important would be learned.  

They'll probably cave is my guess.  Such spine is virtually unheard of in our time.

They are threatening to seize software that apple has already released the source code to.  
Why would apple cave?
