If Qualcomm is implementing it then it should be easy enough to break. Qualcomm's secure enclave software for Android has had an absolutely abysmal security track record. Apple gets all the press precisely because it's such an achievement (well, that and Apple is more well known). Qualcomm hacks have come out like every 6 months for nearly a decade, and nobody cares anymore.

well apple's enclave is broken aswell. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/10/apple...

well at least it needs physical access.

FWIW, I meant Apple secure enclave hacks get all the attention because they're more of an achievement, at least in terms of published hacks being more rare. I tried to keep track of published Qualcomm breaks--which usually don't require physical access as they involve classic software bugs--several years ago but gave up because they were too numerous yet not as widely publicized. I had plenty of fodder by then, though I try to take mental note of new breaks that [briefly] appear on HN or elsewhere.

I was keeping track of hacks for marketing material related to a security startup I was working on. The competition would have principally been smartphone-based authentication apps, both Android and iPhone.

Lol. Even Google had to put Titan M on its Snapdragon based Pixels.
