Secure Enclave #60

Closed hazcod closed 6 years ago

hazcod commented 6 years ago

Does the current project use the Secure Enclave co-processor in newer macs? (since 2016)

btoews commented 6 years ago

Optionally, yes. Here are instructions for enabling this feature.

Is this feature considered supported enough that it would make sense to update the README to mention it?

btoews commented 4 years ago

I still consider that functionality somewhat experimental. It wouldn't hurt to mention it in the README though.

+1! I almost completely dismissed this project when I read:

A USB authenticator stores key material in hardware, whereas Soft U2F stores its keys in the macOS Keychain.

However if there's a well supported version of this that relies on Touch ID & Secure Enclave then that's definitely worth highlighting!

I could’ve missed this project until I clicked on this issue..
