securityd —
Security context daemon for keychain and cryptographic
operations
securityd |
securityd maintains security contexts and
arbitrates cryptographic operations. Access to keychain items is routed
through securityd to enforce access controls and to
keep private keys out of user process address space. All user interaction
with securityd is mediated through the
Security Agent.
This command is not intended to be invoked directly.
securityd was first introduced in Mac OS X
version 10.0 (Cheetah) as the "Security Server" and was renamed in
10.4 (Tiger).
