Hard security has a lot of legislative opposition. Look at the problems
RIM/BLACKBERRY ran into in many countries because there wasn't a
backdoor to their encryption.

Phil Zimmermann (author of PGP fame) at a conference I was at described
a police conversation where the police couldn't believe that he didn't
have a secret backdoor or the knowledge to break his own encryption
algorithm to help them solve a child porn case.

Look at the current Apple vs. FBI dustup.  Apparently the FBI expects Apple
to develop code to break the encryption on an iPhone.  I think I come down
on the side of privacy, but the other side has some valid arguments too.

in the past hardware reverse engineering technologies have been used to
to recover such information ... and for single use should be less
expensive than what they are asking Apple to do. It would seem to be
justified assuming they were planning on wide spread use.

As I understand it, hardware reverse engineering wouldn't help here --
apparently, the issue is that there is no way to enter the unlock code
except from the touchscreen.  What the FBI wants is a scriptable way to
enter it (so they can then brute-force unlocking the device).

Real forensics people would know what to do.  First, take the phone apart, 
and remove the flash memory chip.  Hopefully you could buy some board that 
enables you to mount it and read it out on a PC.  if not, somebody would 
have to make up a board.  once you have the contents of the flash memory in 
a PC, you could then attack whatever encryption might be on there.

Apparently, the current difficulty is if you try too many times to enter the 
"access code" the phone will erase everything in memory.  Just as with 
computer forensics, where you pull the hard drive out of the system and copy 
it using another system, this is what to do with an important piece of 
evidence on a cell phone.  That still leaves encryption on the phone, but 
the NSA probably has ways to dig into that.

I wonder if they are keeping the battery charged on that iphone instead of 
letting it run down on a shelf in the cops' property room?

Doesn't matter. The data they want won't go away whichever approach they 
take.

Not possible in this case.

Dunno. They appear to be asking Apple to do a version of
iOS that no longer delays between when you enter a bad
passcode and when you can try another one and to allow
that modified iOS to be loaded into that locked phone.

That is certainly technically possible and wouldn’t cost much.

Not justified in the sense that it is reasonable to demand Apple do that.

The "other side" are little more than gangsters. Utter and complete scum.

I saw some talking heads saying that current iPhones could not be broken
but this model could.

Of course, no estimate as to how long that might take.

I guess AAPL can fix this for the rest of it's customers by updating
all their systems OS to current levels.  I can't see how the government
can stop them.

I see no overriding, life threatening emergency to
justify making a case out of this.

On the other hand, AAPL could start a multi-million dollar project
to break that phone and push the stock price up over the years.

The current iphones have that stored in the cpu
secure zone where it isnt accessible from outside it.

> but this model could.

Yes, that model doesn’t have the secure zone.

> Of course, no estimate as to how long that might take.

That obviously depends on the form the passcode takes.
If the passcode is done by gestures, that's a problem for
brute forcing it.

It isnt the OS that is the problem, it’s
the hardware with the current models.

The govt isnt wanting to stop anyone.

The FBI clearly feels differently about that.

hardware reverse engineering ... does non-distructive dissembly and then
directly extract from the memory store. If it is encrypted, do brute
force on the extracted copy.

gestures, biometric, etc ... has sensor that converts to some encoded
representation ... you don't reproduce the physical representation
... reproduce the encoded representation generated by sensor.

That isn't reverse engineering, there is no
reverse involved, it's just disassembly.

And isn't even possible with the the current iphones,
the hashed passcode is in the secure zone in the cpu
where it can't be disassembled anyway.

> If it is encrypted, do brute force on the extracted copy.

Not even possible with the best encryption.

What can certainly be done is brute force trying all the
possibilities with the passcode, but to do that you need
to stop the phone from wiping the contents of the phone
after there have been 10 failures to provide the passcode.

> gestures, biometric, etc ... has sensor that converts to some encoded

Sure, but the problem with gestures is that it makes it a lot
harder to just try all the possible gestures to see what either
unlocks the phone or produces the hashed passcode you
have extracted from the phone by physical disassembly.

original post was "reverse engineering technologies" ... which starts
with pealing all the pieces apart (or disassembly). getting down to
chips ... they may even very carefully peal away chip layers and
measuring charges in cells.

Yes.

And that isnt what is involved here. It is well known just where the
hashed passcode is stored, no reverse engineering required at all.

In this case there isn't even any disassembly involved
at all, just stopping the CODE from wiping the data once
the passcode has been failed 10 times.

Yes, the feds can hack your iPhone. No, it isn't easy.

It's possible, of course, for authorities to physically open the
phone, pull out the computer chips and bombard them with lasers or radio
frequencies to get at the information they need

...snip ...

pealing chips and using scanning electron microscope for reverse
engineering has been an issue for a number of decades. Past couple
decades discussions have been about using the technique for attacks to
compromise security chips. IBM Los Gatos VLSI lab had originally
pioneered the technique for debuging chips (as opposed to reverse
engineering). trivia, long ago and far away, I use to have a wing of
offices and labs at the Los Gatos lab.

Ex-NSA, CIA chief Michael Hayden sides with Apple in FBI iPhone
encryption fight

trivia: 90s, I was saying that I would take a $500milspec chip, cost
reduce it by 2-3 orders of magnitude while making it more secure. I
was on panel discussion with several CSOs in ballroom standing room
only at:

Earlier in the 90s, the gov. was pushing hard for Key Escrow ... all
keys had to be registered. I was member of the Key Escrow committee
... one of the last meetings was where I showed that private keys for
digital signature use couldn't be escrowed because it would violate
fundamental "PAIN" requirements, their response was people could cheat
and use digital signature private keys for encryption. That was about
the end of Key Escrow effort.

Fat lot of good that is with encrypted data.

And the passcode isnt stored anywhere in
the phone, so even doing that won't get it.

But isnt what need to be done to read this iphone.

In this particular case, my opinion favors privacy.

But what happens if national security is threatened?  Suppose the feds
had a phone which contained plans of an impending attack, and accessing
those plans would save significant lives?

The ends never justify the means.

Ever.

If they can't make their case some other way -- then the case does not
need making.

That makes no sense. If the phone could contain info on additional
terrorist activity then Apple should get off their collective ass and
fix the phone so the info can be read. 

Dead terrorists have no privacy for anyone to be tauting fake concern
for.
