There is an img4 file (sep-firmware.img4) found in /user/standalone/firmware on iOS 7.0.4 for the iPhone 5s. The IPSWFILE/Firmware/all_flash/all_flash.DEVICEIDENTIFIER.production for any A7 (64 bit) device and newer, contains an IM4P version of the same file. The file is an DER encoded ASN.1 object and structured as follows:
