What binary is in charge of making touch ID keyboard work?

Apple's touch ID external keyboard will work on all macs with apple silicon. But they must be running Big Sur 11.4.

What binary was added in that version that made the computer capable of using the touch ID keyboard?

Why does that matter to you? From an API perspective, you interact with Touch ID in the same way as you would if it were built in.

    Well there is your mistake. I am not using an API. In fact, I am not doing this to make an app at all.

    I'm doing this because I have a theory that there could be a huge security hole inside mac OS. I want to find out whether or not this is true so I can submit it to apple inc and strike it rich.

Error, this should not be here. I cannot find the delete button.

OK, in that case I’m not able to help you, because my role at Apple, and the purpose of DevForums in general, is to help third-party developers build software and hardware products for Apple platforms. There are plenty of reverse engineering communities out there on the ’net where you can engage with like-minded folks.
