Yeah, that's what they all would say. But the images are there, and could be collected.
Thanks for your post.
What part of "It is not an image" do you fail to grasp? Or what part of "the data processor does not have access to the Secure Enclave" do you also fail to grasp? The iPhone cannot ever "collect" those data that are in the Secure Enclave" to send it to the radios in the iPhone to pass it on anywhere. It is physically not possible because the Secure Enclave is NOT CONNECTED TO THE DATA PROCESSOR. It is not on the DATA BUS. . . and the Encryption Engine processor is hardware limited to doing only specific things. Passing the contents of the Secure Enclave to the data processor is not one of the things it can do. . . it's not designed to do that.
For FIVE YEARS, the the Secure Enclave has successfully protected the fingerprint data in it from such intrusions, in fact from all attempts to gain access to that data. YOU seem to think Apple has some nefarious reason other than securing their customer's data. They do not.
Are you at all aware of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002? (SOX) I don't think you are. It provides for personal fines of up to $20 million and prison for managers and corporate officers who make demonstrably FALSE statements that would have an impact on the value of the companies they work for. Making a statement about the Secure Enclave falls under SOX I assure you that Apple's management would not make the claims they have about the data not leaving the iPhone and Apple not passing on anything in the Secure Enclave if there were ANY CHANCE AT ALL that it was false because they would be laying themselves open to criminal charges under Sarbanes-Oxley. So, no, FatherofFive, "that's (not) what they all would say." and, the images, as I told you ARE NOT THERE, and, NO, it cannot be collected.
Thanks for your post. . . even if you ignored the facts I related to you.
