To support Touch ID, the new MacBook Air comes with the Apple T2 Security Chip, which makes users' notebook more secure. The T2's Secure Enclave protects Touch ID information and also ensures that software loaded during the boot process has not been tampered with. The T2 also features an SSD controller with on-the-fly data encryption for everything stored on the SSD. The T2 also features an always-on processor that enables "Hey Siri," which lets users make requests to Siri with their voices for things like finding files or opening an app.
