| > Same has been proven with Apple not allowing FBI to open an iPhone, because it'd set a precedent. I thought the outcome of that case was that no precedent was set, since the iPhone was unlocked before the FBI could test their argument in court. > Future iPhone versions were made so that it's literally impossible for even Apple to open a locked iPhone. Firmware signed by apple is what runs to verify your biometrics and decide whether or not to unlock the device. At any point apple could sign firmware with a backdoor for this processor which lets them unlock any phone. How did they prevent this in future iPhone versions? > theshrike79 18 hours ago | parent | context | flag | on: Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI priva... The best protection against "secret orders" is to use mathematics. Build your system so that it can't be decrypted, don't log anything etc. Mullvad has been doing this with VPNs and law enforcement has tested it - there's nothing for them to get. Same has been proven with Apple not allowing FBI to open an iPhone, because it'd set a precedent. Future iPhone versions were made so that it's literally impossible for even Apple to open a locked iPhone. > There's no reason why they wouldn't go to same lengths on their private cloud compute. It's the one thing they can do that Google can't. They did go to the same length, they have the ability to see your data whenever they choose to since they own the signing keys. |
