Secure Enclave (Apple)

Apple’s Secure Enclave is a dedicated security component within Apple devices that securely stores sensitive information, such as passwords, encryption keys, and biometric data like fingerprints and facial recognition. It operates independently from the main processor, creating a protected environment that prevents unauthorized access. This separation ensures that even if the device is compromised, the data stored in the Secure Enclave remains secure. It processes sensitive information locally, enabling secure authentication and encryption tasks, thus enhancing overall device security while maintaining user privacy.
