![]() In other words, they have a significant role in every recent Apple desktop device, where the chips underpin most security features. However, they also serve as a "security chip" -as a Secure Enclave Processor (SEP)- that processes sensitive data like cryptographic operations, Ke圜hain passwords, TouchID authentication, and the device's encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities. By default, they handle audio processing and various low-level I/O functions in order to help lift some load off the main CPU. Their role is to function as a separate CPU, also known as a co-processor. T2 chips were announced in 2017 and began shipping with all Apple devices sold since 2018. ![]() What are T2 chips?įor Apple users and ZDNet readers that are not aware of what T2 is, this is a special co-processor that is installed alongside the main Intel CPU on modern Apple desktops (iMac, Mac Pro, Mac mini) and laptops (MacBooks). If exploited correctly, this jailbreaking technique allows users/attackers to gain full control over their devices to modify core OS behavior or be used to retrieve sensitive or encrypted data, and even plant malware. ![]() Checkm8 + blackbird and the T2 SEP is all yours.- Siguza September 5, 2020
