Does this SIF already exist, or is Apple being "commandeered" by the feds to develop, test, and warrant the SIF?

The Court Order seems to order that the SIF must run in RAM, and not modify the FLASH SSD in any way. The only problem is that the RAM on the iPhone cannot at all access anything in the Secure Enclave, it is literally impossible. The architecture assures that the Secure Enclave is invisible to the RAM and the A7 processor.

The data inside the Secure Enclave is absolutely necessary to decrypt the encrypted data on the FLASH SSD, but it is locked away from anything that runs in RAM, apps, outside invaders, etc., yet the court order required the HACK to run in RAM. Ignorance runs wild.

And, no, it does NOT exist at this time, and, YES, Apple is being ordered to create it. The order makes a stab at "data integrity" but doesn't spell out what happens if the data integrity is lost.

"6. Although Apple shall make reasonable efforts to maintain the integrity of data on the Subject Device, Apple shall not be required to maintain copies of any user data data as a result of the assistance ordered herein."

Apple is also operating within the parameters of the order:

"7. To the extent that Apple believes that compliance with this Order would be unreasonably burdensome, it may make application to this Court for relief within five business days of receipt of the Order."

Apple requested a five business day extension and it was granted. That expired tomorrow.

And where in the IPhone 5C (which uses the A6 processor) is this secure enclave?
