Do you truly believe Apples sophisticated security enclave with computer-like capabilities (and probably running a full OS) will have a manual and white-paper? This is the exact opposite of what Apple will do, they will lock it down and put it behind patents as they do best.

Seems pretty likely there will be a whitepaper and some conference talks about this as well.
- zapt02 9y agoYou're linking a minimal manual which is required for corporate deployment, hardly anything Apple is being forthcoming about. I'm pretty sure you and I have different definitions of acceptable disclosure - unless Apple makes the entire chip possible to audit, I don't consider it to be acceptable.
- dpkonofa 9y agoA completely transparent audit like you're suggesting would compromise the majority of the security features of the enclave. The white paper gives enough about the mechanism to understand how it works without detailing specifics that would compromise the security of tech.
- dpkonofa 9y agoAre you joking? They already did release those things...
