Secure enclave

- Most people worry about storing sensitive data on their device. Who has access to it? Where is it sent? Can other apps access it? iOS stores keychain data in the Secure Enclave. That sounds safe and warm. If you want to know the nitty gritty details of the Secure Enclave, you can check out the Apple documentation, but for our purposes, the main thing is that the Secure Enclave is separate from basically everything else. It runs it's own kernel on it's own chip, has it's own file system, and prevents direct access from even the main processor. Only your app can get to it. Though we'll look at ways to share the data with other apps you develop.
