FBI again calls for magical solution to break into encrypted phones

The FBI maintains an office, known as the National Domestic Communications Assistance Center (NDCAC), which actively provides technical assistance to local law enforcement in high-profile cases.   In its most recently published minutes from May 2017, the NDCAC said that one of its goals is to make commercial tools like those from Israeli data extraction company Cellebrite ‘more widely available’ to state and local law enforcement.

In 2017, the NDCAC even provided money to Miami authorities to pay Cellebrite to successfully get into a seized iPhone in a local sextortion case.
