Although Apple has strongly denied today that it can intercept messages sent through its iMessage system between users, those from zdnet they convinced them those from quarkslab to allow Pod2G to make a video demonstration of the procedure. In practice, in the video clip above we can see how a message sent through the iMessage platform can be decrypted and how it can be decrypted to be visible by the company that hosts the servers through which these messages are sent, Apple claiming that it cannot perform this thing.
Although we are talking about a demonstration of a theory, it proves, even at this level, the fact that Apple could intercept the messages if it wanted. Although the company says it doesn't, no one knows if the answer will be the same if US federal agencies will use federal mandates to compel Apple to decrypt data sent by people who are a danger to national security. Even if Apple wanted to keep the fact that it can decrypt the data a secret, now it has nothing to hide behind, even if it did not want to give the American federal agencies access to the data.
