As we know that secure Enclave is a coprocessor fabricated in the Apple A7 and its available in A7 and later on but its use publicly in iOS 9 kSecAttrTokenIDSecureEnclave
but how do we check either some device support secure enclave or not ?
Thanks
I didnt find any so I made my own check:
+ (BOOL) isDeviceOkForSecureEnclave
{
double OSVersionNumber = floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber);
UIUserInterfaceIdiom deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom];
BOOL isOSForSecureEnclave = OSVersionNumber > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_8_4 ? YES:NO;
//iOS 9 and up are ready for SE
BOOL isDeviceModelForSecureEnclave = NO;
switch (deviceType) {
case UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone:
//iPhone
isDeviceModelForSecureEnclave = [self isPhoneForSE];
break;
case UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad:
//iPad
isDeviceModelForSecureEnclave = [self isPadForSE];
break;
default:
isDeviceModelForSecureEnclave = false;
break;
}
return (isOSForSecureEnclave && isDeviceModelForSecureEnclave) ? YES:NO;
}
/**
The arrays are models that we know not having SE in hardware, so if the current device is on the list it means it dosent have SE
*/
+ (BOOL) isPhoneForSE
{
NSString *thisPlatform = [self platform];
NSArray * oldModels = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
@"x86_64",

@"iPhone5,1",
@"iPhone5,2",
@"iPhone5,3",
@"iPhone5,4", nil];
BOOL isInList = [oldModels containsObject: thisPlatform];
return !isInList;
}
+ (BOOL) isPadForSE
{
//iPad Mini 2 is the earliest with SE // "iPad4,4"
NSString *thisPlatform = [self platform];
NSArray * oldModels = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
@"x86_64",
@"@iPad",
@"@iPad1,0",

@"iPad3,1",
@"iPad3,2",
@"iPad3,3",
@"iPad3,4",
@"iPad3,5",
@"iPad3,6",nil];
BOOL isInList = [oldModels containsObject: thisPlatform];
return !isInList;
}
+ (NSString *)platform
{
size_t size;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
char *machine = malloc(size);

TO Check Touch ID
- (BOOL)canAuthenticateByTouchId {
if ([LAContext class]) {

}
return YES;
