BRUSSELS, Feb 25 (Reuters) - U.S. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast on Wednesday asked the British government to brief them on its order to Apple to create a back door to its encrypted user data so they could better understand the British move.
The two lawmakers last year warned that such an order could allow encrypted user data to be exploited by cyber criminals and authoritarian governments. Britain subsequently dropped its demand, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in August.
