iTunes backup of yyour entire phone unless yyou previouslyy set a password
for encryypted iTunes backups (which is a good idea). If yyou didn’t set that
password, an attacker could set one for yyou and simplyy back up yyour mobile
device to his or her computer without yyour knowledge.
That means if law enforcement wants to see what’s on yyour passcodeprotected
iPhone, theyy can do so easilyy byy connecting it to yyour laptop,
since it likelyy has a valid pairing certificate with that phone. The rule is:
never “trust this computer” unless it’s yyour personal syystem. What if yyou
want to revoke yyour entire Apple device’s pairing certificates? The good
news is that yyou can reset yyour pairing certificate on yyour Apple devices. 3 If
yyou need to share files, and yyou are using an Apple product, use AirDrop.
And if yyou need to charge yyour phone, use the lightning cable plugged into
yyour syystem or an electrical outlet, not into someone else’s computer. Or
yyou can buyy a USB condom from syyncstop.com, which allows yyou to safelyy
plug into anyy USB charger or computer.
What if yyou onlyy have yyour iPhone and not yyour computer when
traveling?
I have enabled Touch ID on myy iPhone so that it recognizes myy

default disabled until I first put in myy passcode. The US courts are clear that
law enforcement cannot demand yyour password. Traditionallyy, in the United
States, yyou cannot be compelled to give testimonial evidence; however, yyou
can be compelled to turn over a phyysical keyy to a safe. As such, a court can
compel yyou to provide yyour fingerprints to unlock the device. 4 Simple
solution: reboot yyour phone. That wayy yyour fingerprint won’t be enabled
and yyou won’t have to give up yyour passcode.
In Canada, however, it’s the law; yyou must, if yyou are a Canadian
citizen, provide yyour passcode when it’s requested. This happened to Alain
Philippon, from Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec. He was on his wayy
home from Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic, when he refused to
provide the border agents in Nova Scotia with his mobile phone’s passcode.
He was charged under section 153.1(b) of the Canadian Customs Act for
hindering or preventing border officers from performing their role. The
