Keychain data security in jailbroken device

Storing sensitive data in keychain is a best practice in iOS. But using a jailbroken device an attacker can dump all the keychain data. (keychain-dumper)

Can anyone help me understand how to protect the data in a keychain, in case of a jailbroken device.

You can implement your own custom encryption on top of Keychain to enhance security. For example, encrypt passwords with a magic method before storing them in Keychain. (Then try to obfuscate that method to minimize chances of reverse-engineering it.)

It's not possible. If the device is jailbroken all data can be easily accessed.
