The FBI director James Comey describes Apple's encryption as 'a closet

that could never be opened'.

Apple has rebuffed a court order to hand over in real time texts sent

using iMessage between two iPhones because its encryption system

leaves the company unable to comply.

The order was obtained by the US Department of Justice during an

investigation over the summer involving guns and drugs.
