Cyber Security Question

Case Response Paper 1

The FBI & Apple Security vs. Privacy

For Case Response Paper 1, we will use a case from Ethics Unwrapped at the

McCombs School of Business, University of Texas

at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-studies.

In this case we will focus on Security and Privacy issues. In particular when the

disagreement between Apple and their focus on user privacy came into direct

conflict with the FBI’s request to examine encrypted iPhone data. This debate also

touched on First Amendment rights and the potential increase in the U.S.

government’s search and surveillance powers.

The FBI did not need Apple’s assistance because forensic specialists were able to

decrypt the iPhone data using Cellebrite’s Forensic software suite

(https://www.cellebrite.com/en/home/). However, this case serves as a useful

illustration of the tension between privacy and government’s data access.

To prepare for this case, please do the following:

1. Read over the FBI & Apple Security vs. Privacy web page

at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-study/fbi-apple-security-vs-

privacy

2. Watch the Incrementalism

Video at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/incrementalism. There is

a video transcript included at the bottom of the page

(https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/incrementalism#narration-

transcript).

3. Return to the FBI & Apple Security vs. Privacy web page

5. Answer Discussion Questions 1-5 using supported academic

arguments at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-study/fbi-apple-

security-vs-privacy#discussion-questions.

Please note the following:

Make sure to answer all parts of each question.

Pay particular attention to key words in the questions. For example, Question

#1 uses the word “harm”. This should be an indication to use particular

ethical theories.

Address and apply “incrementalism” when appropriate.

Remember to follow the General Response Paper Guidelines. This includes

citing additional references for support.

Use headings and sub-headings to organize your paper. At a minimum, each

question number should be a heading.
