Secure Enclave
The Secure Enclave is part of the A7 chip and a basic part of Apples Touch ID fingerprint technology. Within the Secure Enclave the fingerprint data is stored in an encrypted form which - according to Apple - can only be decrypted by a key available by the Secure Enclave thus making fingerprint data walled off from the rest of A7 Chip and as well as the rest of iOS. The secure enclave itself is a flashable 4MB processore called the secure enclave processor (SEP) as documented in Appple Patent Application 20130308838. The technology used is basically ARM's TrustZone/SecurCore.
The SEP is located in the devicetree under IODeviceTree:/arm-io/sep and manged by the AppleSEPManager driver.
SEP OS
The SEP has its own OS called SEP OS and there exists a tool called seputil which is used to communicate with it.
seputil has the following valid commands:
seputil: seputil [--wait] --load <file> seputil: seputil '<SEP console command>' seputil: seputil <command> seputil: seputil: Valid <command> words: seputil: --ping Send a PING operation to the SEP OS seputil: --load Load <file> as the SEP runtime firmware seputil: --restore Load <file> as the SEP runtime firmware in restore mode seputil: --restore+art Load <file> as the SEP runtime firmware in restore mode with ART seputil: --wait Pause for kernel driver to load before failing seputil: --preflight Pre-flight load/restore firmware against ART to pre-check for boot failures seputil: --log Dump the mailbox message log seputil: --rom status Get the ROM status seputil: --rom tz0 Send a ROM TZ0 command seputil: --rom nop Send a ROM NOP command seputil: --rom nonce Send a ROM nonce request seputil: --new-nonce Request new SEP/OS nonce seputil: --kill-nonce Request invalidate SEP/OS nonce seputil: --art get Dump current ART from Memory seputil: --art set Persist the supplied ART to storage seputil: --art clear Clear the persisted ART seputil: --art ctrtest Counter self-test (DESTRUCTIVE - WILL BRICK DEVICE) seputil: --sleep Sleep the SEP NOW! seputil: --nap Nap the SEP NOW! seputil: --pingflood Ping SEP endlessly seputil: --clkgate Enable SEP clock gating seputil: --get <obj> Read obj and write to stdout seputil: --put <obj> Read stdin and write to obj seputil: --boot-check <file> Check whether a firmware might be bootable WRT the current ART seputil: --dump-fw <file> Dump measurements of firmware file seputil: Bare words on the commandline are sent to the SEP as a console command
