My students @maxzks and Tushar Jois spent most of the summer going through every piece of public documentation, forensics report, and legal document we could find to figure out how police were “breaking phone encryption”. 1/
ACLU is suing the FBI over its efforts to break into encrypted devices. https://t.co/TN8X0Slmnf

Authorities don’t need to break phone encryption in most cases, because modern phone encryption sort of sucks. 3/

So if they can’t crack the passcode, how is law enforcement still breaking into iPhones (because they definitely are)? 6/
When you turn your phone on and enter the passcode in the morning, you switch your phone from BFU->AFU. 8/
All of the other keys stay in memory. 10/
(This is all well-known so far BTW.) 11/

So it seems that Apple is actually protecting *less* data now than in 2012. Yikes. 16/

Mail (which probably already exists on a server that police can subpoena, so who cares.)
App launch data (🤷♂️)
That’s not great. 18/
Photos
Texts
Notes
Possibly some location data
Most of what cops want. 19/
Why is so little of this data encrypted when your phone is AFU and locked? And the answer to that is probably obvious to anyone who develops software, but it still sucks. 22/
When you protect files using the strongest protection class and the phone locks, the app can’t do this stuff. It gets an error. 23/
But for the most part it’s annoying for software devs, so they lower protections. And if Apple *isn’t* using strong protection for its in-house apps, who will? 24/
Maybe Apple’s lawyers prefer it this way, but it’s courting disaster. 25/
This will be on a pretty website soon. Thanks for not blocking me after this thread. // fin
