As in another post in this thread,
I'm not really directly considering
the current FBI/Apple situation but
jumping ahead to the future
where, now, due heavily to
the current FBI/Apple situation,
I anticipate very broad, greatly
increased interest in encryption
people will want really strong
encryption, totally independent of
any big companies, totally free of any
chances of back doors, etc. So, they
will return to simple, open source,
command line software, run on an old
computer, never connected to a network,
that puts out just dirt simple
base 64 that move to, say, an iPhone
via some, whatever, diskette reader (?)
connected via USB. People are going
to quit just fooling around, roll back
to RSA, and trust a product of two
totally obscure prime numbers, oops,
really long prime numbers.
Here the FBI has gone a long way
to make their job impossible soon and
to have Apple make a new iPhone
that they solidly claim they just
cannot break
to replace all the ones they have
sold so far.
