For instance, one developer forked sudo to support Touch ID.
It seems that support for Touch ID is still in its infancy and not everything in macOS supports it by default, but people have already started experimenting with adding support wherever they can. There’s no question that Touch ID is more convenient than typing a password, especially if you use complex passwords (as you should). (Also, using Apple Pay and logging into macOS with your fingerprint is just plain cool!) Having Touch ID and a SEP opens up multiple possibilities in terms of endpoint security, and we're already researching how we can take advantage of these.
Touch IDĪnother feature of the new MacBook Pro that we’re excited about at Duo – and one that’s made possible by the introduction of the SEP – is Touch ID. iOS devices have shipped with a Secure Enclave Processor since 2013, when the iPhone 5s was introduced, (which included the A7 system on a chip).

It’s also worth noting that some early MacBook Pro models shipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is similar to the SEP, but Apple didn’t ship any drivers for it. They could still ask the SEP to perform cryptographic operations with the keys, but they can’t get the keys themselves. There are numerous benefits to storing key material in hardware, including that it’s virtually impossible for attackers to exfiltrate the keys. Having access to a SEP on macOS introduces a lot of possibilities, especially when it comes to storing hardware-backed secrets in the SEP (e.g., private keys). Secure Enclave Processor (SEP)Īt Duo, the feature we’re most excited about in the new MacBook Pro is the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP). Below are a few highlights of the new MacBook Pro. It’s thin, light and beautiful (though I do miss the glowing Apple logo on the rear display housing).
Overall, the new MacBook Pro is a joy to use. To that end, I wanted to share some first impressions after using the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (or TBP, as some are calling it) as my primary computer for a few weeks. Most of us longtime Mac users are all too aware that with new hardware – and especially major architectural changes – come early adopter woes.

So when I was given the chance to upgrade to the latest and greatest MacBook Pro, I jumped at the opportunity.
