Apple Keychain - Import ECDSA Private Key

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Imports an ECDSA private key to the Apple Keychain.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

Go

    success := false

    pemPath := "/Users/chilkat/qa_data/ecc/prime256v1-privKey.pem"
    // Provide a password if your PEM is encrypted. Otherwise pass the empty string.
    pemPassword := ""

    privKey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
    success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile(pemPath,pemPassword)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(privKey.LastErrorText())
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
    }

    // In Apple Keychain, the label for an item such as a private key is a user-friendly identifier that helps distinguish one item from
    // another in the Keychain. It is typically a brief name or description associated with the item. 
    // The label is displayed in the Keychain Access application and is useful for quickly identifying the purpose
    // or source of a specific key, certificate, or password entry.

    // The label does not affect the functionality or security of the item; it is purely for organizational purposes. 
    // You can edit or assign labels to make your Keychain easier to navigate.

    // On MacOS, you can save the private key to the Keychain by calling SavePkcs8File with a "filename" in the format"keychain:<label>"
    success = privKey.SavePkcs8File("keychain:MyEcdsaKey123")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(privKey.LastErrorText())
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Success.")

    // Here you can see:
    // 
    // 

    privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
