Secure storage is the protection of stored data using encryption and access controls. Mac OS X provides secure containers called keychains that can be used to store certificates, passwords, encryption keys, and other data. Developers can use Apple's services and interfaces to store and retrieve data in keychains, to control access to QuickTime movies, and to set and get access rights for files.
