Senator Asks if FBI Can Get iPhone 5S Fingerprint Data via Patriot Act

EPJ13

“The iPhone 5S reportedly stores fingerprint data locally ‘on the chip’ and in an encrypted format. It also blocks third-party apps from accessing Touch ID. Yet important questions remain about how this technology works, Apple’s future plans for this technology, and the legal protections that Apple will afford it. I should add that regardless of how carefully Apple implements fingerprint technology, this decision will surely pave the way for its peers and smaller competitors to adopt biometric technology, with varying protections for privacy.  I respectfully request that Apple provide answers to the following questions.”
