FBI continues the war it started at the beginning of the year against the Apple company, the American federal agency complaining that it cannot unlock the phone of a former Saudi soldier who killed three soldiers in a military base in Florida.
FBI to complain that Apple does not want to unlock two old iPhones that it had in its possession in the ongoing investigation, including the current president Donald Trump in the dispute.
FBI managed to extract some data from iPhone phones, but in the form of backups, most likely, and its biggest problem is that it cannot decrypt the information that is saved in them by the operating system.
FBI he most likely used one of the various solutions to break the iPhone 5S and iPhone 7 phones that he took from the Saudi soldier who killed his colleagues, but decrypting the data is a completely different problem for them.
"The FBI has reconstructed an iPhone belonging to the shooter behind December's attack on the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., but is still unable to access the encrypted data on the device, Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday."
FBI it cannot decrypt the data if Apple does not have the security key to do so, and theoretically they are stored in the enclave chip in the phones, the one that cannot be broken by anyone to retrieve information from it.
FBI is struggling to convince Apple to decrypt its information, the American company refuses to do this and says that decryption could represent a risk for the national security of the USA, so things are far from resolved.
