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.
Μετά την αποκάλυψη του PRISM από τον Snowden, που ανέφερε ότι η Apple και η Silicon Valley knew about and participated in the secret surveillance program, things seem to be changing.
This is not easy, since, according to recent publications, Yahoo is threatened with bankruptcy if it does not comply with data constraints in the US government. This news, perhaps for the first time, made the nine big technology companies who believed they were not complicit in the secret services were more confident.
Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), but it went a step further. With a new encryption method, new security practices, and the renewal of its privacy policy, virtually closes the door to all secret services. How;
The new mobile functional Apple's iOS 8 system, which was released on Wednesday, came with elaborate encryption, forcing law enforcement, federal agents and secret services to contact the device owner himself if he needed data and not the Apple.
New encryption methods even hinder it Apple to have access to its user data.
"Unlike our competitors, the Apple cannot bypass your password and therefore cannot access your data,” the company says in its new privacy policy, updated Wednesday. "That is why it is not technically possible for us to respond to requests government to extract 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, emails, music, documents, and contacts.
Nevertheless, Apple's new measures are truly pioneering and worthy of copying by other companies. However, it was time to react in such a way, as his annual reports Electronic Frontier Foundation for 2012 and 2013 presented her Apple that it has the worst privacy practices for user data.
