A UK court rejected the government's attempt to keep secret details of Apple's appeal against a demand to create a "backdoor" for accessing encrypted iPhone data. The government argued national security concerns, but the judges ruled that secrecy would violate the principle of open justice. The case involves the UK government's order for Apple to weaken its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) system, which Apple complied with by withdrawing ADP for UK users. Apple maintains its opposition to creating backdoors, citing security risks for users.
