Apple is researching ways to allow multiple users to benefit from Touch ID, or similar biometric systems, while keeping the protection of the current secure enclave.
Apple s current T2 security processor
Apple s T2 security processor is based around a secure enclave which stores biometric data about a user. Whether that user is unlocking their Mac, or making a purchase, the secure enclave is asked to confirm that they are who they say they are.
Without divulging any of the stored data, the T2 processor can confirm or deny a request. So the Mac or the retailer has the certainty they need to proceed, without the user s privacy being compromised.
