The Secure Enclave prevents this

• tpetry 7y ago
  The secure enclave SHOULD prevent this! The cellebrite people found some vulnerability, but we dont know in which component.

  It's supposed to. We don't even know for sure that there's a flaw in it; they might have just bypassed it, found a way to read the flash memory directly.

    The memory used by the SEP is encrypted.

      With a key. Which is stored in SEP hardware. Which could, in theory, be extracted.
      • tptacek 7y ago
        I'm not saying extraction is technically impossible, just that you can't simply bypass the SEP and read its flash the way hardware reversers do with other embedded systems.
