Apple can read iMessages its users according Quarkslab

Safety: According to a presentation made ​​by French security experts Quarkslab conference Hack in the Box, encryption, end-to-end iMessage does not preclude Apple, for example, to request a State, read user messages.

In June, Apple said that communications via iMessage were protected with encryption end-to-end.But this claim, researchers in the French security challenge. 

On the occasion of the Hack in the Box conference, which takes place in Kuala Lumpur, the security company has Quarkslab reported security as it demonstrates that Apple, for example, at the request of a government , the possibility to overcome the encryption to read messages sent through its iMessage service. 

Demonstrate technical feasibility, not an actual reading Apple 

"The statement from Apple that they can not read encrypted end-to-end iMessage is certainly not true" provide researchers in a white paper summarizing their findings. "As everyone suspected: Yes, they can! " 

Researchers do not blame Apple to read or deliver messages rid of their encryption governments. No, what their research highlight is the technical feasibility of reading iMessages despite encryption in place. 

However, as Ars Technica points out , around this encryption is not within the reach of any curious. Indeed, for this include required physical control of the terminal and the installation of code, such as false certificates.
