Apple encryption

Apple Inc and the FBI returned to Washington to testify before lawmakers about their heated disagreement over law enforcement access to encrypted devices.

Severely criticized by Silicon Valley, can the longtime senator from California face tech opposition in her 2018 race?

The U.S. has redoubled its efforts to use the courts to force Apple's cooperation in cracking encrypted iPhones.

"Apple is not a demon. I hope people don't perceive the FBI as a demon."

The U.S. is continuing to push Apple and other tech companies to help law enforcement circumvent encryption.

The case is the latest in the battle over privacy between the tech giant and law enforcement.

James Comey said the technique the FBI used on Syed Farook's iPhone 5c wouldn't work on the iPhone 5s, 6 or 6s.

"It's a bit of a technological corner case, because the world has moved on to 6's," FBI Director James Comey says.

The decision to neither endorse nor oppose the legislation stems in part from ongoing divisions among various federal agencies over encryption.

The bureau may be allowed to withhold how it cracked an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service all invoked the All Writs Act.

There are three main questions that still linger, even after the FBI managed to crack an iPhone.

The two-month long national discussion over encryption may be over now.

The Justice Department may have a lead on how to crack the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone—without Apple's help.

Apple releases a smaller iPhone and iPad, new iOS and a lower Apple Watch price tag on Monday.

The tech giant has fought many battles throughout its history—and has usually won.

Richard Clarke tells NPR the iPhone could already be cracked by NSA, FBI and Justice Department are solely in it to set legal precedent.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd threatens to arrest "rascal" Tim Cook over encrypted iPhones.

"In 30 years of practice I don't think I've seen a legal brief that was more intended to smear the other side with false accusations and innuendo."

Apple alone can remove those barriers so that the FBI can search the phone, and it can do so without undue burden, the DoJ filing says.

The companies will contest government arguments that the All Writs Act compels Apple to comply with its request.

"I don't think you will like what will come out of Congress," one Congressman tells Apple.

The access to the iPhone was sought months before the San Bernardino, California case.

The FBI and Congress would like the phone opened in the name of national security; Apple is fighting on behalf of the privacy of its users.

The Apple case has raised the issue of whether the tech giant gives foreign governments things it refuses to give to the FBI.

Apple's refusal to crack open an extremist's iPhone is a matter of principle—and market share.

"This is not a case about one isolated iPhone," the motion reads in its first sentence.

Apple's Cook seems intent on turning the case into a heroic struggle by making some dubious leaps of logic.

Tim Cook says he is ready to take the iPhone case "all the way."

"I don't think that's the way the railroad should be run," says Apple CEO Tim Cook on Obama administration.
