Apple has published some of the features of Touch ID and lockbox

Earlier we talked about the basic principles of Touch ID in iPhone 5s, as well as methods of protection that Apple used to protect users' data .

 Job biometric sensor has also been reviewed on the basis of patents received by the company in the past year . But frankly , most people are still very skeptical about the fingerprint scanner. In Apple is well aware and updated one of the documents on security on your website. In particular, it describes some of the design features of the biometric sensor.

IMore resource already held experience a shift of biometric sensor Touch ID iPhone 5s from one to another, and in practice convinced of the impossibility of such a procedure , which confirms the mechanism of patent lockbox Apple. The updated document specialists spent another educational program on the fundamental principles of Touch ID.

As indicated in the document , each lockbox is also coprocessor in the system on a chip A7 , such as coprocessor M7 is responsible for processing the sensor readings of the device. Only lockbox is to safely store the user data , in this case a fingerprint . In addition, each such store has its own unique identification number , which is not any system or anyone from Apple.

Also uses a lockbox safe loading , which is independent from the rest of the device. Each time, generates a random key that is used to encrypt the field of system memory required for storage. Any information that gets there immediately encrypted using a random key that is associated with a unique identifier .

Touch ID for work and related processes used in the CPU A7 . However, the latter can not read data because of their encryption , but only responsible for delivering this information in a secure vault in which already made ​​the necessary actions on them.

The document also emphasizes again that the data from the lockbox is not sent over the network in any way and, accordingly, are not stored in iTunes or iCloud. Thus , Apple again and again trying to prove the users a complete and comprehensive security solutions for their storage fingerprint users. In the future, the technology probably will be developed and expanded scope , so it is important for us now to convince users to their side.
