Something new and very revolutionary comes with iOS 8. IGuRu.gr presents its first pan-Hellenic security measure Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), which will be discussed. If law enforcement authorities want to access your iPhone or iPad, you probably will not have to hit Apple's door, as they used to do before launching iOS 8.
After revealing PRISM by Snowden, who reported that Apple and Silicon Valley knew and participated in the secret surveillance program, things seem to change.
This is not easy, as according to recent publications Yahoo is threatened with bankruptcy if it does not comply with the requirements to hand over data to the US government. This news, perhaps for the first time, made the big nine more believable Companies technology who claimed they were not complicit with the secret services.
Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), but he took it a step further. With a new encryption method, new security practices, and the renewal of its privacy policy, it effectively closes the door on all secrets services. How;
Apple's new mobile operating system, iOS 8, which was released on Wednesday, came with elaborate encryption, forcing law enforcement, federal agents and secret services to turn to the device owner themselves if they need to data and not in Apple.
New encryption methods even hinder it Apple to have access to its user data.
"Unlike our competitors, the Apple it cannot bypass your password and therefore cannot access your data, ”the company said in its new privacy policy, which was updated Wednesday. "That's why it is not technically possible for us to respond to government requests to export data from devices that have iOS 8 installed"
But that does not apply to everything. For example, if you have stored data in iCloud, the Apple still has the ability (and legal responsibility) to hand them over to Authorities as long as the data is stored on their servers.
Let's remind him that his data iCloud may include photos, email messages post officeh, music, documents, and contacts.
However, Apple's new measures are really pioneering and worth copying from other companies. However, it was time to react in such a way, as the Electronic Frontier Foundation annual reports on 2012 and 2013 presented the Apple that it has the worst privacy practices for user data.
