American multinational technology company has dragged the government of the United Kingdom to court over an order to create a backdoor to access its encrypted data.
Examined by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, the case is the first test of the 2016 Investigatory Powers Act, which gives UK authorities the ability to possibly crack encryption.
The Advanced Data Protection service, which provided additional encryption for iCloud data, has been discontinued by Apple in the UK in accordance to the ruling.
