Imran Ahmad was recently quoted in the article "Apple Backdoor Court Order Being Watched in Canada,"
published by IT World Canada.
Writes Howard Solomon: "The decision by a U.S. court ordering Apple to create a so-called back door into an
iPhone owned by a terrorist is being watched carefully in Canada, home to a number of technology companies
that make products with encryption - including Blackberry."
Says Imran: "I’m not aware of any public decisions that were made in terms of a government agency going
after a Canadian company saying ‘You need to create a backdoor or key to open it up so we can
investigate,’… Based on the decision I reviewed for Apple and based on what (Apple CEO) Tim Cook put out a
bit later in response, they’re basically asking them for a new way of getting access to encrypted information."
Imran goes on to discuss circumstances under which something similar could happen here in Canada.
