Apple wins an attempt to prevent the British confidentiality file which takes place fully in secret

Apple won its attempt to stop a legal battle with high issues with the British government on its iPhone functionality improving the confidentiality of being held in a total secret.

The investigation powers court rejected a request from the British government on Monday to maintain all the details of Apple Private’s legal challenge.

The iPhone manufacturer has fought against requests from the United Kingdom home office to create a rear door to its cloud systems that contain private user data.

The decision of the independent judicial organization brings a blow to the British government, which first delivered to Apple a “opinion of technical capacity” in January. He cited the law on survey powers introduced in 2016 to justify access to encrypted user data.

The British government fought to maintain the battle with Apple behind closed doors, citing concerns about the publication of the publication of national security “, if the details concerning the case of Apple were published, said the decision published on Monday by the court judges.

The judges, however, rejected a request from the Home Office of the United Kingdom so that the “bare details” of the case are kept secret, citing “open justice” as a fundamental principle after several media organizations have called for transparency.

“We do not accept the revelation of the bare details of the case would be detrimental to the public interest or harmful to national security,” said the court.

The decision increases the issues in a tense confrontation between the most precious company in the world and the British government.

Apple said that in February that it could no longer offer advanced data protection (ADP) – its most sophisticated security system – to UK customers after receiving the request.

“We do not start legal proceedings”, ” A home office spokesperson told Business Insider. “Nor are we starting on operational issues, in particular by confirming or refusing the existence of individual opinions.”

Apple did not immediately respond to the request for comments from Business Insider.

Rebecca Vincent, acting director of Big Brother Watch, an organization of Civil Liberties and British confidentiality campaign, praised the court’s decision.

“The order of the home office of breaking encryption represents a massive attack on the privacy rights of millions of users of the British Apple, which is a question of important public interest and must not be taken into account behind closed doors,” said Vincent.
