Enrolment is the first thing here that writes: template containers through the
gpfile listener and counter records through RPMB. It refuses to run unless both
--sfs-writable and --rpmb-write are given, and it refuses to call SAVE_DATA if
the sample count did not reach zero, because a partial template is worse than
none.
The sequence is stock's: cancel, reset-lockout, authenticate, cancel,
reset-lockout, PRE_ENROLL, authenticate, cancel, ENROLL, the sample loop,
POST_ENROLL, SAVE_DATA with bit 30 set. AUTHENTICATE is what arms the capture
session, which is why it appears in an enrolment at all.
Enrolment takes one sample per PRESS: touch on the rising edge, release on the
falling one, nothing in between. Stock's entire enrolment trace contains no
image-ready event, and feeding every held frame gives the algorithm
near-duplicate images from a single press.
Two things named honestly. The ENROLL payload's u32 at +69 was recorded here as
a "timeout"; the trustlet reports it back as the GROUP ID, and filling a
mislabelled field with a plausible number is the entire provenance of gid 60.
It is the gid now, so an enrolment can choose its own group.
And --group-path exposes the namespace key the trustlet hashes into the group's
directory name. It defaults to Android's, which is where this device's existing
store lives and how that template is readable. But SAVE_DATA rewrites the
group's index container, and an index QTEE later fails to verify takes every
template listed in it -- so enrolling into a DIFFERENT namespace is complete
isolation from a store we did not write.
