NAME

     securityd -- Security context daemon for Authorization and cryptographic operations

SYNOPSIS

     securityd

DESCRIPTION

     securityd maintains security contexts and arbitrates cryptographic operations and Security Authorizations. Access to keychain items is routed
     through securityd to enforce access controls and to keep private keys out of user process address space.  Authorization calls also communi-
     cate with securityd to enforce rules contained in the /etc/authorization database.  All user interaction with securityd is mediated through
     the Security Agent.

     This command is not intended to be invoked directly.

HISTORY

     securityd was first introduced in Mac OS X version 10.0 (Cheetah) as the "Security Server" and was renamed in 10.4 (Tiger).
