Attorney general Loretta Lynch defended the governments attempt to force apple to unlock the iphone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. Speaking before a house appropriation, subcommittee, she said the government owes it to the victims, their families and the public to make sure they do Everything Possible to investigate this mass shooting. Lynch insisted there is Legal Precedents for the court order for apple to create software that would let fbi investigators access information in the phone bypassing its Encryption Technology. Its a longstanding justice in our Justice System that if a judge believes in item contains information, that judge can instruct a limited search for evidence. Of a government needs the assistance of third parties to ensure the search is actually convicted, judges all over the country and on the Supreme Court have said that those parties must assist if it is reasonably within their power to do so. Federal officials have insisted the court order would only apply to this phone in the San Bernardino investigation and they say apple can destroy the software once the iphone is unlocked but the Justice Department also disclosed today it is asking for apple to assist in unlocking another eight iphones in cases nationwide. Apple ceo tim. Is refusing to follow the court order saying it jeopardizes Public Safety and also privacy rights. And speaking of other iphones, there are reports that apple may have already unlocked dozens of iphones for the government in past criminal investigations. We checked with an attorney for the electronic sound dear Frontier Foundation and he says there is a big distinction between past cases on this one. The crucial piece he says is the court order to develop new software that will unlock data that is automatically encrypted on the iphone. So in the past, yes apple has accessed data on iphones and share that with government investigators but according to eff, this has always been done using existing Data Extraction Software so things were already around created by Third Party Companies like sobriety and access data but apples naxos operating system has encryption protections meant to patch up security flaws and right now those thirdparty products dont work. In september, apple published its updated legal guidelines saying quote for all devices running ios 8. 0 or later versions, apple will not perform data extractions as data extraction tools are no longer effective. The files to be extracted are protected by an encryption key that is tied to the users pasco, which apple does not possess. So that brings us here. Apples Encryption Technology has surpassed other tools and apple refuses to create new technology to gain access. Apple has and still does provide data when stored in the cloud for searches but the passer to the iphone was actually reset by the county for the San Bernardino attacker. Pitt county reset it just hours after taking possession of the phone prevent him from from backing up on the cloud. None of that information went to the club because the password was changed.

Lets talk about that. Becoming an entrepreneur, sometimes financing the money is a big part of having a successful business but you guys dont lend money, you provide financing. Explain how that works. There is a big part of finance that isnt lending called trace finance and a lot of entrepreneurs and emerging, andies emerging economies dont need a loan but a supplier paid so they can make money through that transaction. So we fund the supplier and get paid by the buyer. That keeps us from lending directly to the sme, being the entrepreneur, and makes the transact are safer for investors. How do you get investors to be involved . We began doing these transactions on capital and worked to impact investors. There is a lot of impact investors motivated by a return but also helping entrepreneurs in emerging economies develop and middleclass and become engines of economic growth.

A lot of our transactions have been in medical and education.

We brought in 24 Neonatal Intensive Care Units into a country where they had hardly any neonatal care and helped to establish that platform. So you are changing lives.
