Evening,

The "one-device-only" comment I have been hear is not correct. There are at least 9 devices that the DOJ has in the queue for the same reasons. Then stack that with Manhattan’s DA, which has another 175 in the queue. This is how things snowball.

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."
