The recent introduction of Find My app by Apple will open a large window of opportunities for whistleblowers. Based on a short range Bluetooth signals, an EC P-224 encryption, and an end-to-end encrypted manner using iCloud Keychain, Find My app is probably the first application broadcasting a large number of anonymous public key on this scale. Hence, this new Apple's application may introduce a revolution in secret communication, if we divert it from its primordial use and transform it into a powerful tool to put in the hands of whistleblowers. By using Find My app and an entity authentication protocol based on artificial intelligence, our goal is to make mass surveillance and kleptographic backdoors ineffective in the lifting of the whistleblower's anonymity. However, in some case, Find my app may also be a powerful tool in the hands of dictatorships governments in their fight against whistleblowers and political adversaries. Thus, the aim of this paper is to show with simple examples, how these two previous situation can happen.
翻译：苹果公司最近推出的“ 发现我” 应用程序将为举报人打开一个巨大的机会之窗。 基于短程蓝牙信号、EC P 224加密以及使用 iCloud Keychail 的端对端加密方式,“发现我的应用程序”很可能是第一个在这个规模上广播大量匿名公用钥匙的应用程序。 因此,这个新的苹果应用程序可能会在秘密通信中引入一场革命,如果我们将它从原始用途转移开来,将其转化为一个强大的工具,供举报人使用。通过使用“发现我的应用程序”和基于人工智能的实体认证协议,我们的目标是在揭发举报人的匿名性时使大规模监控和后门窃听器无效。 然而,在某些情况下,发现我的应用程序也可能是独裁政府手中打击举报人和政治对手的强大工具。 因此,本文的目的是用简单的例子展示这两种情况是如何发生的。
