The United Kingdom has ordered Apple In order to provide officials with access to users encrypted accounts, Washington Post reported on Friday.
The British registry office, which deals with immigration and security, last month issued an order to the Apple, which requires a technical “backdoor” that would allow officials to look at completely encrypted material transferred to cloudy software, reported the post, citing people familiar with these things.
“We do not comment on operational things, including, for example, confirmation or withholding the existence of any such notice,” a spokesman for the registry office.
Apple did not immediately respond to the CNBC comment request.
The iPhone manufacturer gives users the ability to store all their photos, messages, documents and more on his encrypted iCloud service-Apple iCloud is the ultimate encrypted, which means that only the owner of the material can be seen.
Government in the United States, the United Kingdom and the EU has long expressed dissatisfaction with this exhibition, claiming that it allows criminals, terrorists and sexual offenders to cover up illegal activity. In the UK, the Law on the 2016 Investigation Authority enables the Government to force technological companies to weaken their encryption technologies through so -called “backgrounds”.
Technical companies – including Apple – pushed attempts to undermine encryption, saying that it will weaken the privacy of the user.
