US security agencies concerned over Apple iPhone 6’s encryption technology

Apple’s new iPhone range that is coming with an encryption technology is all set to create hurdles for the government agencies in accessing of its information.

According to a New York Times report, the user data related to emails, address book, images, passwords, bank account numbers and many more highly confidential data will be encrypted in the iPhone up to an extent that the National Security Agency (NSA) and other law enforcement agencies will struggle badly while accessing those information.

Technology experts say even if Apple opens up user information before the authorities, the new algorithm used in the iPhone 6 will only allow access to essentially nonsense user info until the security agencies spend quality time trying to decrypt it.

The Cupertino-based company has also claimed that it will not retain the unique algorithm that can help in breaking the code for each specific phone.
