Apple is working on new ways to strengthen the encryption of customers’ iCloud backups in a way that would make it impossible for the company to comply with valid requests for data from law enforcement, according to people familiar with its plans.苹果(Apple)正在研发新的方法来增强对用户iCloud备份的加密。据熟知该计划的人士称之为，这将使得苹果在面临执法人员部门收到的有法律效力的获取数据的催促时，无法获取任何协助。The move would bolster Apple customers’ security against hackers but also frustrate investigators who are currently able to obtain data from Apple’s servers through a court order. Apple has complied with thousands of such orders in the past.此举不但可以提高苹果用户拥有的安全性、防止黑客攻击，而且不会让调查人员徒劳无功。

调查人员目前可以利用法庭令其从苹果服务器取得数据。过去，苹果已遵照执行了几千个这样的法院令其。Developing such technology is in some ways more complex than adding the kind of device-level security that Apple introduced to the iPhone in 2014 with its iOS 8 update.从某种角度谈，研发这类技术要比加到那种设备层安全性更加简单。

2014年，苹果利用其iOS 8改版将设备层安全性引进iPhone。Building new protections that mean Apple no longer has access to iCloud encryption keys may inconvenience some customers. Such a change would most likely mean that customers who forget their iCloud password may be left unable to access their photos, contacts and other personal information that is backed up to Apple’s systems.创建新的防水措施意味著，苹果仍然需要采访iCloud加密密钥，这可能会为部分用户带给不便。这种变化最有可能造成的是，如果用户记得iCloud密码，有可能就无法访问他们的照片、联系人以及备份到苹果系统上的其他个人信息。

The plan adds a new twist to Apple’s legal fight with US authorities over access to the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone. The case has divided US public opinion between those who believe that Apple should help investigators trying to unlock Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone, and others who agree with chief executive Tim Cook that doing so would create a dangerous precedent that threatened customer security.该计划为苹果与美国当局环绕否该关卡圣贝纳迪诺枪击案凶手的iPhone手机而愈演愈烈的法律战加添了新的波折。这宗枪击案使美国舆论经常出现了分歧，其中一方指出苹果不应协助调查人员尝试关卡赛义德里兹万法鲁克(Syed Rizwan Farook)的iPhone，另一方则赞成苹果首席执行官蒂姆库克(Tim Cook)的主张，即这么做到将竖立一个危险性的先例、对用户拥有的安全性构成威胁。In an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Mr Cook said that complying with the FBI’s demand to create a new version of its operating system, which would allow investigators to break into the iPhone, would be like writing “the software equivalent of cancer”.库克周三拒绝接受ABC News专访时回应，理会美国联邦调查局(FBI)的拒绝研发一个新版本的操作系统（这将让调查人员需要入侵那部iPhone），就看起来撰写“等同于癌症的软件”。

“There are many things technology should never be allowed to do. The way you do not allow it, is to not create it,” Mr Cook said.他说道：“有很多事情是技术总有一天不应去做到的。不容许它去做到的办法就是别去建构它。“Security gets better with every software release that we have. Encryption gets more advanced. It has to, to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.”“我们每公布一个版本的软件，安全性就提升一级。加密显得更为先进设备。

为了比那些怕家伙领先一步，被迫如此。”Last week, in a conference call with reporters, when asked if the iPhone maker would take further steps to harden its products, an Apple executive said that it was reasonable to expect that Apple would continue to strengthen its security.上周，在与记者们的电话会议上，当有人问到苹果否不会采行更进一步措施来增强其产品时，一名苹果高管回应，指出苹果不会继续加强其安全性的点子是合理的。The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Apple engineers had already begun developing new security measures that would prevent authorities from accessing an iPhone, even if they were equipped with the kind of software tool that the company is fighting not to write.《纽约时报》(The New York Times)周三报导称之为，苹果工程师已开始研发新的安全措施，这些措施将使得当局无法提供iPhone的信息，即便它们配备了该公司于是以希望抗争不去撰写的那种软件工具。

Apple declined to comment on its plans.苹果拒绝接受就其计划置评。Speaking to ABC, Mr Cook said that he would be prepared to take its current fight with the FBI to the Supreme Court if necessary.库克在拒绝接受ABC专访时回应，若有适当，他将打算把眼下与FBI的这场法律战碰到最高法院(Supreme Court)那里。“If a court compels Apple to write this piece of software, to place a backdoor in the iPhone, we believe it does put hundreds of millions of customers at risk,” he said. “This is not about one phone, this is about the future.”他说道：“如果法庭强制苹果撰写这种软件、为这部iPhone植入后门，我们坚信这不会使无数用户正处于危险性之中。这牵涉到的不是一部手机，而是未来。
