Google Joins Apple in Encryption Battle.


              Few days back Apple has been put up in a critical zone where a Judge asked Apple to break the encryption of the device to access the data used by terrorist involved in mass shooting. Apple has been facing the battle and now there has been many twists.

              Actually Apple was asked to unlock the device to get the data involved in it. Apple already stated that its Encryption can not be broken and accessing the data in iDevice without a password is nearly impossible.

              Apple has been asked by the Judge to put up a Backdoor that can be used only by Apple personnel in case of need but Apple CEO Tim Cook refused saying that "Putting the backdoor will make the device less secure and anyone can exploit the backdoor".

              There has been many tweets regarding that and infact the politician "Donald Trump" stated that they should put up a backdoor as per Judge stated and opposed Apple.

               Now, Google CEO Sundar Pitchai sided Apple saying that putting up a backdoor can violate the user's privacy if exploited by any attacker. The talk of the giant CEO went more than 12 hours and then they sided Apple and Join hands in Encryption battle.

                Google CEO also stated that we will help the law enforcement by providing the user's details when needed but wont support implanting a Backdoor in their devices.

                 The Encryption Battle goes viral as many tweets are being made and Apple is strongly opposing the idea of putting a Backdoor in its device.

P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
