The tech giant Apple has, in recent years, invested heavily in the iPhone to ensure the safety of users and their data. There are several measures known to encrypt them and make them inaccessible, something that has worked in favor of the company.
One of the strongest measures implemented was the use of SEP, a dedicated chip for security and few processes can access. The SEP is still a safety measure but has now been broken and its code will be public.
The SEP (Secure Enclave Processor) was introduced with the Apple A7 processor in the creation of the iPhone 5S. Its role is to manage and ensure the protection of all the major iOS security elements, such as Touch ID, encryption, and other really important tasks.
It is so protected that even if iOS is compromised or the iPhone’s own processor is attacked, the data gets isolated and simply become inaccessible. But the publication of a hacker has come to ruin this unique model of protection.
