Apple 's appeal against UK government demand to be able to access customers' encrypted data is set to be considered at a secret hearing at the High Court on Friday .

Apple took legal action in response to the Home Office's demand for the right to access customer information protected by Apple 's Advanced Data Protection (ADP) programme.

Currently Apple cannot access data stored in this way and therefore is unable to share it with law enforcement if issued with a warrant.
