Hey, I updated my comment with a footnote on exactly that. Not sure if you saw it. I agree it may be possible to develop an attack against the secure enclave with a big enough budget and access to lots of sample chips to practice on. But keep in mind secure enclaves are designed to self-destruct under these circumstances, so I almost think it may entail pushing the frontier of electron microscopy and/or techniques for exposing it that are more delicate that grinding down the chip.

In other words yes, I'd bet money there's a "secure enclaves" team at the NSA with a few million bucks to play with. Or teams.
