    I don’t know about the key length of a TPM. If I had to guess I’d say something like 256 or 512 bits, or even 1024. But I was just addressing the PIN the user might type in to unlock their phone. That’s something the user can control, and it provides plenty of security against naive brute force attacks by people not sophisticated enough to disassemble the phone. I assume that group includes the majority of police departments and any cop whose main work is outside of a lab.
