SRBs are the same level of security exposure that APF-authorized tasks are. So if an application is already APF-authorized, switching to enclave SRBs is not intrinsically more of a security exposure than already existed. It is true that SRBs are more likely to tend to be key 0 than authorized tasks, but that is not a security exposure. That is a "greater potential for screwing up a system due to overlay of something critical" exposure.

And, the good ol' SPKA instruction helps tremendously here...
