Certificate, Key, and Trust Services

   Certificate, Key, and Trust Services is a collection of functions and data structures used to authenticate and authorize users and processes using keys and certificates. Because in OS X and iOS, certificates and keys are stored on a keychain, many of the functions in this API must be used in conjunction with functions in the Keychain Services API.

This chapter discusses some of the concepts you need to understand in order to use the Certificate, Key, and Trust Services API. In addition, keys and certificates are defined and discussed in Security Overview.

   证书，密钥和可信的服务是一系列用来鉴定和授权用户使用和进程使用密钥和证书的数据结构和功能的集合。由于很多证书和密钥被保存在钥匙串中，所以这写API的很多功能都需要和钥匙串服务的API同时使用

   这个章节讨论了使用证书，密钥和可信服务需要了解的概念，另外，证书、密钥在Security Overview.中定义和讨论
