Apple cannot decrypt that data. I think that Apple are telling the truth there, because being caught lying will hurt them shitloads more than just saying nothing would have. Here's a better version, taking into account Quarkslab's findings:
Conversations which take place over *the current implementations of iMessage and FaceTime* are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt *that* data. Apple *could* alter the implementation of their PKI, undetectably and without altering *any other* aspect of iMessage or FaceTime, so as to allow Apple to decrypt and read conversations which take place over iMessage or FaceTime using *that hypothetical implementation of Apple's PKI*. Nonetheless, Apple has not implemented such functionality and does not intend to.
Semantics are contextual: the “cannot” in Apple's claim depends on the “are” & the “that”.]]> apple imessage privacy security analysis pki cryptography https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:fc05ecd8794b/ Privacy Violations « Startup Boy 2012-06-12T01:09:51+00:00 http://startupboy.com/2010/10/15/privacy-violations/ SirPavlova privacy society scary insight business https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:0a5a2cc7971d/ CCC | Chaos Computer Club analyzes government malware 2012-06-07T09:24:51+00:00 http://ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner SirPavlova germany privacy security police https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:83f9a9cba81e/ IdentityBlog - Digital Identity, Privacy, and the Internet's Missing Identity Layer 2012-04-05T12:22:39+00:00 http://www.identityblog.com/?p=1136 SirPavlova privacy lies apple license quotes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:e9819ccb63f0/ How Companies Learn Your Secrets - NYTimes.com 2012-02-23T00:52:17+00:00 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.html?pagewanted=all SirPavlovamarketing privacy statistics business target https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:5d22d2b5bca3/ Facebook forced to admit tracking 2011-12-24T19:55:47+00:00 http://disconnect.me/blog/facebook-forced-to-admit-tracking SirPavlova facebook privacy business lying https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:014dc10319d9/ Google+ Can Be A Social Network Or The Name Police – Not Both 2011-11-06T23:36:40+00:00 http://blogs.gartner.com/bob-blakley/2011/09/01/google-can-be-a-social-network-or-the-name-police-not-both SirPavlovaidentity privacy google google+ naming stupid https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:b144b7aa960f/ Snarkyxanf - Privacy is not Trust 2011-11-06T23:25:12+00:00 http://snarkyxanf.tumblr.com/post/12403524734/privacy-is-not-trust SirPavlova privacy trust society pseudonyms https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:da46ce440024/ It’s the end of the web as we know it « Adrian Short 2011-09-29T11:18:38+00:00 http://adrianshort.co.uk/2011/09/25/its-the-end-of-the-web-as-we-know-it/ SirPavlova essay facebook web privacy sad insight trust naming https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:a0297cc0ce7c/ Nik Cubrilovic Blog - Logging out of Facebook is not enough 2011-09-29T11:09:58+00:00 http://nikcub.appspot.com/logging-out-of-facebook-is-not-enough SirPavlovafacebook privacy security https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:3767948e1355/ Internet privacy: How network analysis can reveal details you would rather hide. - By Kevin Gold - Slate Magazine 2011-08-31T19:23:23+00:00 http://www.slate.com/id/2302429/ SirPavlovainternet privacy statistics https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:12899fe64e41/ Google’s Product 2011-07-12T00:52:18+00:00 http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/columns/executive_tech/article.php/3801006/Googles-Business-Model-YOU-Are-the-Product.htm SirPavlova google advertising business privacy https://pinboard.in/u:SirPavlova/b:493af29d47cf/ EPIC - EPIC v.
