[Cryptography] Wired: "How the Feds Could Get Into iPhones Without Apple’s Help"

[Perry E. Metzger]

"[A]ccording to experts who spoke with WIRED, that’s not necessarily
the case. They say there are ways the government can extract data on
phones without Apple’s help, from using outside contractors to asking
its friends at the NSA—ways that it has, in fact, already used in the
past. The solutions won’t work for every iPhone the government has
collected, and the solution offered for extracting data from the
phone in San Bernardino involves some speculation about the NSA’s
capabilities. But they do raise questions about whether the
government has done everything it can do to collect the data it says
it needs."
