We all remeber two cases in which FBI asked Apple to help in unlocking iPhones of people accused of terrorism. After refuse and loss in the court FBI done it without help. And guess what? Apple now announced that Kernel in iOS 10 will not be encrypted – official reason is maximizing performance.
If you’re thinking what it can mean for normal users you’re smart ones. In optimal case nothing but opening previous encripted Kernel can couse loss in security and openning for expoiters and mallware. Apple doesn’t offer any payments for security researchers from external firms.
