The latest updates regarding secure enclaves were discussed in the Platforms State of the Union session at WWDC 2024. The secure enclave is a critical component in Apple's security architecture, designed to protect encryption keys and ensure the integrity of the operating system through secure boot and trusted execution monitor mechanisms. Additionally, Apple has introduced strong cryptographic attestation mechanisms to verify the identity and configuration of private cloud compute clusters, ensuring that only signed and verified code runs.
Moreover, the secure enclave processor now utilizes embedded Swift, which brings Swift's safety guarantees to the platform. This was highlighted in the Go small with Embedded Swift session, emphasizing the importance of security in systems that handle sensitive data.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the following sessions:
Migrate your app to Swift 6
Experience Swift 6 migration in action as we update an existing sample app. Learn how to migrate incrementally, module by module, and how the compiler helps you identify code that’s at risk of data races. Discover different techniques for ensuring clear isolation boundaries and eliminating concurrent access to shared mutable state.
What’s new in privacy
At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Learn about new and improved permission flows and other features that manage data in a privacy-preserving way, so that you can focus on creating great app experiences.
Platforms State of the Union
Discover the newest advancements on Apple platforms.
Go small with Embedded Swift
Embedded Swift brings the safety and expressivity of Swift to constrained environments. Explore how Embedded Swift runs on a variety of microcontrollers through a demonstration using an off-the-shelf Matter device. Learn how the Embedded Swift subset packs the benefits of Swift into a tiny footprint with no runtime, and discover plenty of resources to start your own Embedded Swift adventure.
What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
