I've made a small Cocoa program and are looking for info on encryption.

I would like to encrypt textfiles and it would be nice to use keychain so if you've unlocked the keychain you don't have to write the password to see the text.

Are there Cocoa classes to interact with keychain and/or that provide encryption/decryption functionality? I havn't found that but I havn't found anything in core foundation either, do I have to use Carbon for this or have I just missed something?

Links to webpages/pdf-files would be very nice.

keychain in OS X will eventually be a part of the CDSA architecture. However in OS X PB it's not complete (buggy as hell is more like it). However you can test the API with MacOS 9 until it's fixed.

Hmmm, what is this CDSA architecture? I've made a search on both Apple's pages and the Omni group's mailing lists but found nothing.

Can you point me to any info on this on OS 9? I've found what I'm looking for on the keychain but so far I've found nothing on the encryption feature.
