To generate key pair I am using Secure Enclave (kSecAttrTokenIDSecureEnclave). When trying to access generated key pair, iOS system, asks for TouchID. Below is code snapshot how I am generating and accessing key pair.
Is here a way to setup properties/attributes, that Secure Enclave functionality will be able to use without TouchID and Passcode?
Generate key pair:
SecAccessControlRef sacObject = SecAccessControlCreateWithFlags(kCFAllocatorDefault,
kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked,
kSecAccessControlUserPresence | kSecAccessControlPrivateKeyUsage, &error);
NSDictionary *parameters = @{
(__bridge id)kSecAttrTokenID: (__bridge id)kSecAttrTokenIDSecureEnclave,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyType: (__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyTypeEC,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrKeySizeInBits: @256,
(__bridge id)kSecPrivateKeyAttrs: @{
(__bridge id)kSecAttrAccessControl: (__bridge_transfer id)sacObject,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrIsPermanent: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrLabel: @“SecKey”,
},
};
SStatus status = SecKeyGeneratePair((__bridge CFDictionaryRef)parameters, &publicKey, &privateKey);
Access key pair:
NSDictionary *query = @{
(__bridge id)kSecClass: (__bridge id)kSecClassKey,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyClass: (__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyClassPrivate,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrLabel: @"SecKey",
(__bridge id)kSecReturnRef: @YES
};
OSStatus status = SecItemCopyMatching((__bridge CFDictionaryRef)query, (CFTypeRef *)&privateKey);
This code is taken form Apple examples KeychainTouchID. By removing kSecAccessControlTouchIDAny it is possible to generate private key inside secure enclave and later use it without entering a passcode.
SecAccessControlRef sacObject;
// Should be the secret invalidated when passcode is removed? If not then use `kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked`.
sacObject = SecAccessControlCreateWithFlags(kCFAllocatorDefault,
kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly,
/*kSecAccessControlTouchIDAny |*/ kSecAccessControlPrivateKeyUsage, &error);
// Create parameters dictionary for key generation.
NSDictionary *parameters = @{
(__bridge id)kSecAttrTokenID: (__bridge id)kSecAttrTokenIDSecureEnclave,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyType: (__bridge id)kSecAttrKeyTypeEC,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrKeySizeInBits: @256,
(__bridge id)kSecPrivateKeyAttrs: @{
(__bridge id)kSecAttrAccessControl: (__bridge_transfer id)sacObject,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrIsPermanent: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrLabel: @"my-se-key",
},
};
