TOTALDataTM Encryption is used to protect data created by the app and the data stored within the app. Enclaved Keys is an extension to Appdome TOTALDataTM Encryption. which uses a hardware-based Secure Enclave chipset (where available). The Secure Enclave chipset is used to generate random numbers, keys, and to perform encryption functions more securely than ever before.
This Knowledge Base article describes Appdome’s Enclaved Keys and explains how to add it to any mobile app as part of a comprehensive mobile data protection solution.
We hope you find this knowledge base useful and enjoy using Appdome!
iPhones with Touch ID or Face ID use a separate processor, ‘Secure Enclave’, to handle the user’s biometric information.
As an added layer of protection, when enabled, Appdome’s Enclaved Keys service will generate private keys and uses computations via the Secure Enclave processor. Those generated keys will be securely kept inside the Enclave at all times, making it extremely difficult to decrypt without proper authorization. Furthermore, since the Secure Enclave is tied into the Biometric component of the device, it offers an additional layer of protection, allowing the keys accessibility only when the device is unlocked by its original user.
In addition, Appdome leverages signatures derived via the Secure Enclave in cases of a Sign-Verify scheme. Appdome’s offers Enclaved Keys on all supported hardware and will automatically select the most secure scheme based on the hardware capabilities present on the device.
