The Wall Street Journal said the move marked between Washington and Silicon Valley privacy and security against high profile temporary passages. But the newspaper also noted that, although this document to avoid pit bull in the law between the parties, but the Government officers and technology executives have long been unable to win the conflict.

"The Government′s priority is to ensure that law enforcement agencies can obtain important information, protection of State and public security, which requires parties to participate if cooperation is not on the required legal procedures. For this mission, we will continue to use a variety of options. This includes cooperation with the manufacturers, but also rely on public and private sector innovation, "the spokesman said.

FBI成功破解iPhone，
苹果iOS真的安全？ - iPhone破解,FBI,iOS漏洞 - IT资讯
3月29日消息，据《华尔街日报》等多家网站报道，美国司法部周一向法院提交文件，称已经破解了加州圣贝纳迪诺枪案袭击者的iPhone手机，可以不再寻求通过法律途径强制苹果协助调查。
《华尔街日报》称，这一举动标志着华盛顿与硅谷之间就隐私与安全展开的高调对抗暂告段落。不过该报也指出，虽然这份文件避免了双方在法律上撕破脸皮，但政府探员与科技公司高管长久以来的冲突无法消弭。
报道称，这份文件暂时搁置了政府是否有权强令科技公司编写软件协助调查的争议性问题，但无法明确数字化通信究竟应该安全到何种程度的问题，也无法化解公司该如何帮助政府获取用户数据的疑问。
在政府官员决定放弃诉讼的前一周，检方取消了原定召开的法院听证。检方当时对负责此案的法官表示，他们或许已经找到了无需苹果协助便可获取这部iPhone资料的方法。
检方在周一提交的文件中披露，该方法已经奏效，苹果无需再提供技术上的支持。
美国司法部发言人表示，联邦调查局“现正查阅这部iPhone上的信息，做法符合标准调查程序”。
该发言人还暗示，虽然这部手机已经不再是问题，但在更大范围上就加密保护技术的争论还有可能继续。“政府考虑的首要问题是，确保执法机构能获取重要的数字信息，保护国家与公众安全，这需要相关各方参与合作；若合作不成就需要走法律程序。为了这一使命，我们会继续采用各种方案。这其中包括与制造商合作，也要仰仗公众与私营企业的创新，”该发言人称。
苹果公司发言人拒绝置评。
周一提交的文件并未指出联调局采用了何种方法获取手机上的数据，也未披露是否在这部手机上找到了与袭击有关的信息。
关于是谁协助，以及通过何种方式协助联调局解决了技术难题，政府官员对此守口如瓶。一名消息人士称，破解方法并不是政府机构开发的，而是由一家私营企业提供的。
《纽约时报》评论称，执法机构有能力通过另一种方法破解一部iPhone引发了新的问题。其中一个问题便是苹果的设备到底有多安全。
此外，事态的发展也让政府与苹果之间有出现新冲突的可能。苹果的律师此前曾表示，公司希望知道破解这部iPhone的手段，而政府则可能将其定为机密。
专注苹果产品的科技网站appleinsider报道称，破解这部iPhone利用了一个iOS漏洞，而这个漏洞的存在让公众将注意力转向苹果。苹果先前的表态都基于一个前提，即iPhone操作系统几乎不可破解的特性。随着这一前提不复存在，这家公司之前的表态也均被推翻。
这意味着，苹果不仅需要摆脱公关上的尴尬局面，而且还要应对这种可能被作为法庭证据而公之于众的攻击方式。
