> Source? Current discussions surrounding your statement point to it being false - that Apple can update the firmware of the secure enclave without it wiping out it's data.

Do you have the source for that, too? I was still under the impression that the Secure Enclave would erase the keys if it's updated.

It's a pretty huge flaw if the firmware can be updated and the keys preserved without first validating with the passcode.

AFAIK, the only sources on this matter are the white papers that Apple has produced. You can't even attempt to update the firmware without having Apple's signing keys.
