Moving the existing chip is trivial but also an effective enough measure against easy repairs.
- dwaite 5y agoThe chip establishes an authenticated, encrypted channel for faceID sensor information. The goal is to prevent someone from silently replacing the camera module with a new device that is no longer capturing local/live data. Since the ability to replace the camera is audited though, I would assume that this does lock out replacements of the FaceID module by unauthorized third parties, _unless_ there is also a process to do so via a full hardware/storage reset.
