Wouldn't it be much easier to patch the iCloud authentication to always authenticate for that one account, from a single IP address?
Wasn't the idea to get the phone to auto backup when it connected to a recognised WiFi (work or home), until someone reset the password? Pick one of those, put a patch in place to always allow the phone to connect from that IP - phone does it's backup, job done.
That's got to be easier than back dooring the phone, simple to roll back, no-one else's security gets affected. Everyone is happy right?
