Washington ¦ Apple and the American government are hired in an arm wrestling having large involvements on the way the technological firms have to work with police force.
The American computer group refuses to submit to a judicial injunction demanding that it helps the investigating officers of the FBI to achieve the scrambled contents of an iPhone used by one of the authors of the assassination attempt of San Bernardino, which had made 14 dead in December in California.
Affair created a cleavage mattering between those who think that the user of an electronic apparatus such as a smartphone must be able to keep his information deprived thanks to the encryption, and those who judge that the legitimate inquiries of police force have to dominate.
Vulnerable
Apple argues that what be asked for him risks returning all its vulnerable users, because the software which claims the FBI in California could be later in the hands of criminals or of unkindly governments.
«Apple wants to support the relation of confidence with his clients» and is persuaded «that no government should have access to these data», explains John Dickson, a partner of the Texan society Denim Group, specialised in the questions of security and of encryption.
Julian Sanchez du Cato Institute sees from his part in affair «a battle about the future of high-tech surveillance» and «of when the technological firms and the creators of software can be drafted as reticent suppliers of tools of piracy for governments».
Some people point out that Apple is on a fundamental position aiming at protecting its users.
«The lack of protection of private life can be an affair of life or of death, or of imprisonment», John Hanour advances, boss of the Californian firm USMOBILE which conceived an application to estimate the mobile messages.
Master key
«Apostasy draws death away in Saudi Arabia. Homosexuality sends people in prison to Pakistan. And in many countries, the adultery is punished by whiplashes or a stoning», he explains.
«The authoritarian regimes around the world salivate in perspective to see the FBI winning», insured party Nate Cardozo, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, on the chain PBS also has. «If Apple creates the master key which the FBI demands that he creates (to enter the iPhone), governments around the world are going to demand the same access.»
Some of those who criticise the position of Apple say however that the group helps probably already the Chinese government by changing iPhone sold on this market.
«Perhaps is it possible to explain why a secret system of encryption which everybody suspects of having a true concealed door, it is sufficient for the Chinese users? »written so on one blog Stewart Baker, a lawyer having worked in the past for the American department of internal Security.
