In reference to the WSJ article I just added to On the Radar (hope it was ok to add there as well), it really surprised me to see how quickly the government's expectations were set when initially receiving such broad access to data. The reaction to a potential pull back in widespread availability and private sector cooperation indicates a sense of entitlement to all data and an expectation that the private sector is working for them, backed up by the help such access would give in an abduction scenario. Is this entitlement warranted? What does this encryption really mean for consumers and for law enforcement? For anyone who knows more about computers, does the encryption mean law enforcement still cannot get at the information without a warrant, as the article suggests, or just that they would need individualized warrants, like they would in the case of personalized servers discussed in Professor Moglen's speech? Would the encryption guard against access by other private actors to this data?

 In sum, whether with or without Apple's help the data are accessible by law enforcement or anyone else depends on the quality of the implementation of the encryption. Apple's choice to keep their source code secret make it impossible to scrutinize the implementation so we have to take their word for it.

Here you see how cryptography is regulated in your country.
