Well i actually need to be able to have the username and password in
the application somewhere so it can be used by the application when
ever it needs, the password its self it taken out of the keychain and
then stored in a NSString (I would assume someone COULD read the ram)
But since my application is a small user database i did not concern
about security in such matters, unless there is some way of storing
the password for use whenever the application needs it and keeping it
secure
PS. At the moment im actually using the AS in cocoa
PSS. Ill look at that Authorization Services doc
My application already stores the username and password in
NSString so how
would i make it work.
Ouch! Poor design, mortifyingly bad security. You should make
sure you fully understand the security concepts before attempting
anything 'secure', else you'll find yourself at the business end of
a massive PR backlash.
Here is a good place to start:
