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).

NAME

       sckmd - Sun cryptographic key management daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/sckmd

DESCRIPTION

       sckmd is a server process that resides on a high-end system domain to maintain the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Security Associations
       (SAs) needed to secure communications between a Service Processor or System Controller (SC) and platform management software running within
       a domain. The cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M) daemons use these Security Associations. See ipsec(7P) for a description of Security Associations.

       The  sckmd  daemon  receives SAs from the Service Processor or SC and installs these SAs in a domain's Security Association Database (SADB)
       using pf_key(7P).

       sckmd starts up at system boot time as an SMF service. The FMRI for the sckmd service is:

	 svc:/platform/sun4u/sckmd:default

       A domain supports only one running sckmd process at a time.

NOTES

       The sckmd service is used only on Sun Fire high-end systems and the SPARC Enterprise Server family. It provides a mechanism for	exchanging
       IPsec  keys  between  a	domain and its System Controller (SC) or Service Processor. These platforms use IPsec to secure the communications
       between the SC or Service Processor and certain platform-specific daemons in the  domain.  Such	daemons  currently  include  cvcd(1M)  and
       dcs(1M).

       The documentation for each platform that supports sckmd describes how to configure its use of IPsec for such communications. Also, the doc-
       umentation for each specific application describes how to configure its security policies and IPsec options in a manner appropriate for the
       target platform. Refer to the platform- and application-specific documentation for detailed information.
