Law enforcement and the NSA are worried about iPhone security

Posted on by

Sept. 27 (UPI) -- The new iPhone has encryption technology that will make it very difficult for government agencies to access its information. Emails, your address book, your images and more will be encrypted to the point that the NSA and other law enforcement agencies will have a very hard time accessing that information, according to the New York Times. The new iPhone 6 uses an algorithm that makes it so even if Apple turned your information over to authorities, the information they received would essentially be nonsense until they spent significant time trying to decrypt it. Apple claims it will not retain the unique algorithm that can help break the code for each specific phone.

The director of the FBI, James Comey, said in a press conference that this kind of technology will let people "hold themselves beyond the law." He claims that having such elevated privacy protections could hinder investigations related to kidnappings and more. Besides the new iPhone, any smart phone user can download apps to protect their information from being seen. Many users across the globe use virtual private network apps that make it so their internet use cannot be monitored. The NSA, FBI and other agencies worry that these kinds of protections will become very popular soon and make it difficult for them to do their jobs.

NSA hires 'risk officer' for oversight; critics fear 'talking head with no authority'

The National Security Agency has hired its first chief risk officer in an attempt to quell public fear that it operates outside the rule of law.

Anne Neuberger, the former director of the agencys Commercial Solutions Center and aide to the NSA director, has been tapped for the role, the agencyconfirmed in a press release Wednesday.

Ms. Neuberger will work closely alongside all senior leaders at the agency. In her first year, she will focus on creating and maturing a methodology and processes to assess the various risks across different missions and work toward meeting specific objectives assigned by the director, the press release read.

Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the agencys director, said that Ms. Neuberger would be tasked with helping the agency to recognize, integrate, and assess the risk-reward value from multiple perspectives to make more informed, timely, and defensible decisions, the statement read.

Mark Jaycox, a legislative analyst with the Electronic Frontier Foundation who studies the NSA, told technology website Venture Beat that the premise sounds nice, its too early to tell how much clout Ms. Neuberger will have within the agency.

NSA wants to show us that they are making strides towards more privacy protections and a greater self-consciousness of their actions. NSA must do more than create and hire for these positions, Mr. Jaycox said.

A former NSA official told Venture Beat that Ms. Neubergers position would be similar to that of James Clapper, director of national intelligence.

[Mr. Clapper] ostensibly has oversight of the entire U.S. intelligence community. But hes really a talking head with no authority, the official said.

German opposition seeks court ruling to force Snowden hearing on NSA in Berlin

Posted on by

Published September 26, 2014

BERLIN Opposition lawmakers have asked Germany's highest court to rule on whether former NSA contractor Edward Snowden can come to Berlin to testify about the agency's activities.

Members of the Greens and the Left Party said Friday that they want a parliamentary panel investigating the National Security Agency's activities in Germany to hear Snowden in person.

The government doesn't want to allow Snowden into the country, citing the damage this could do to Germany's relationship with the United States.

Instead, government parties on the panel want to question Snowden in Moscow, where he is currently in exile.

The former NSA contractor has said through a lawyer that he will only speak to the panel if he is allowed to do so Germany.
