Witnesses in iPhone encryption case ready
Print Edition
THE US government and Apple Inc will be able to cross-examine the other's witnesses in a court hearing this week on whether the technology company must help federal investigators unlock an encrypted iPhone tied to one of the San Bernardino killers, Apple said.
The hearing, set for tomorrow, is the latest development in a showdown between Apple and the government that has become a lightning rod in the national debate over digital privacy and what kind of data on phones and personal devices should be accessible to law enforcement.
All the witnesses have given written declarations in the legal briefs already filed in the case, said an Apple lawyer who spoke to reporters on Friday, on condition of anonymity.
The lawyer said Apple would make Chief Privacy Engineer Erik Neuenschwander and Global Law Enforcement Manager Lisa Olle available for cross-examination.
Neuenschwander's declaration in part says that Apple would need to create a new operating system to bypass its own security and challenges a government claim that the company creates individual software for different phones.
Olle’s declaration says creating the new operating system would be burdensome for Apple and would spark more requests from law enforcement.
