This isolation is supported by strong cryptography to enable verification of authenticity of the enclave, along with providing privacy and integrity of both the enclave code as well as the sensitive data being processed. And all these sources of complexity provide opportunities for failing in an insecure manner.

In 2013, researcher Nitesh Dhanjani found that a popular brand used simple MD5 hashes of the device's MAC addresses for authentication. Problem is, MAC addresses are not great for authentication. It seemed that once you authenticated through the local network, the app maintain that access, even if you are halfway across the world.
