@marcan42 Sure. But can any decently intelligent, reasonable human being actually expect a drawing or 4-digit PIN to protect their data?
@JohnHedge With an HSM with serious tamper resistance and immutable firmware? Yes. Which the iPhone isn't.

@marcan42 I've yet to see any smartphone with tamper resistance. Are you referring to TrustZone? SPE can also be considered a HSM. -
@JohnHedge Of course no smartphone is that, but Apple would like you to think it is. - Show replies
