WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is demanding Apple’s help in unlocking at least nine iPhones nationwide in addition to the phone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers.

华盛顿——在整个美国，除了加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪枪击案袭击者使用的那部iPhone，司法部还在要求苹果公司(Apple)帮助解锁至少九部手机。

The disclosure appears to buttress the company’s concerns that the dispute could pose a threat to encryption safeguards that goes well beyond the single California case.

这似乎支持了苹果的担忧，即此次争议可能会对产品的加密保护构成威胁，其影响远不止加州这一例。

Apple is fighting the government’s demands in at least seven of the other nine cases, Marc J. Zwillinger, a lawyer for the company, said in a letter unsealed in federal court on Tuesday.

在联邦法院周二公布的一封信中，苹果公司律师马克·J·茨维林格(Marc J. Zwillinger)表示，在这另外九起案子里的至少七个案子中，苹果拒绝配合政府的要求。

“Apple has not agreed to perform any services on the devices,” Mr. Zwillinger wrote. Starting in December, the letter says, Apple has in a number of cases objected to the Justice Department’s efforts to force its cooperation through a 1789 statute known as the All Writs Act, which says courts can require actions to comply with their orders.
