If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

Il faut impérativement maîtriser soi-même le processus de cryptage de A jusqu'à Z et ne pas laisser faire cela par aucun prestataire de services.

De cette façon il n'y a jamais de nécessité de backdoor.

On prend un algorithme public, tel que Aescrypt, on en prend une implémentation indépendante de tout service web, et on est le seul à connaître la clef.

Le secret doit résider dans la clef et non dans l'algorithme.
