    Building A Backdoor To The Iphone

    Uploaded by

    Angga Ekhariedo
    FBI requested Apple's help in unlocking an iPhone used by a suspect in a mass shooting to search for evidence, but Apple refused on ethical grounds. Creating a backdoor for one phone could compromise iPhone security and set a precedent, violating customer trust and privacy. While the FBI wanted to prevent future attacks, Apple prioritized its commitment to users that it would not weaken security or access data without permission. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of the FBI's request, though legislation on encryption was not pursued further.

    Building a Backdoor to the iphone : An Ethical Dilemma

    Situation:

    1. Syed Farouk is suspect shooter along with his wife, responsible by killing 14 and injuring additional
    22 people in San Bernido. They were killed in a battle gun with the police in their vehicle.
    2. They tried to detroy all evidences that could help FBI to attract their motive behind this attack.
    FBI found two relatively new cellphones lying smashed in a garbage near shooting location.
    Actually it’s not farouk’s property, it was given by his employer to Farouk.
    3. FBI believed his phone could contain crucial information, that showed who he was in contact
    with, the possibility he was connected with terrorist organization, his next attack planning so FBI
    can prevent American victim in the future.
    4. The iphone was locked with numerical or number/letter combination pass code in order to
    prevent someone else could see all information in the phone.
    5. FBI feared that the data will be deleted automatically if they tried to unlock the phone to break
    the combination farouk pass code, since there are a lot possibility pass code combination to
    unlock farouk’s phone, the security building system that built by Apple is strong, and it needed
    much time to try and open the phone.
    6. FBI came to Tim Cook, CEO Apple, and requested Apple to help them to make a special system,
    something like special IOS that created in order to break farouk’s phone pass code. Hopefully this
    action could help them to find the possibility future attack that can save American citizen.
    7. Tim Cook refused FBI request to build a backdoor to the iphone, since he considered this act too
    dangerous for other user due to the following reasons:
    a. It showed the possibility that there is a way to break iphone security.
    b. Someone else can imitate the way.
    c. This action showed that Iphone can compromise about the security, which this aspect has
    guaranteed by Apple. If they break this rule, probably they could lose customer’s trust.
    8. Apple has guaranteed the user, that will ascertain the security and privacy user, so just the user
    or someone related to the user who knows the passcode, get the access and open the phone.
    Cook said Apple’s business model is very straightforward, Apple just sell great product, not
    monetize customer’s information in order to market to you. Instead of reading customer’s email,
    message, other data regarding them, Apple just focus to design software and services to make
    the devices better.
    9. FBI needed this backdoor program to be created once to unlock the phone, but Apple are unable
    to do so. Government have proposed draft legislation that would have forced tech companies to
    allow them access unencrypted data. For Snowden disclosure in 2013 led to a large-scale criticism
    of the US Govt, and since then the Govt decided not to continue the proposed legislation.
    10. This case was filed in the federal district court, and court passed an order directing Apple to
    provide the software that could disable the security features that erased data from the iphone
    after 10 unsuccessful attempts to unlock the phone. Of this feature was disabled, FBI could
    attempt as many combinations as necessary to unlock the phone.
