Hi,
Couldn't find anything relevant in the the docs or the lists, so I
thought I'd ask here..
Is there a pattern commonly followed regarding storage of passwords or
other credential type data in core data..? Given the existence and
security profile of the KeyChain, it would clearly be best to keep
passwords there, but can I map this into a core data model so that I
keep a reference of some kind to a password (or other credential, such
as an SSH key) thats really stored in the keychain in the core data
model rather than the actual value..? Or am I over thinking this and
it's really better in this instance just to store such values in the
core data store itself.?
any advice/pointers would be appreciated,
regards,
David
