Colleagues,

Jeff Schiller, data / network security expert from MIT, just posted this
short and lucid critique of the FBI's request for Apple to provide a
"one-device-only" backdoor in the San Bernardino case.

Jeff's post references a lengthy paper written last year by a who's who of
security experts," Keys under doormats: mandating insecurity by requiring
government access to all data and communications."
