I’m cautious of ‘alternative’ crypto implementations; there’s a lot of complex math and logic involved that’s easy to get wrong. I want the implementation I use to be as battle-tested as possible. Also, the Keychain is a valuable place to store secrets that, being built into the OS, offers better security than anything you can do on your own or with 3rd party libraries. There’s not really any other good solution for storing keys, short of making the user type in a strong passphrase every time they launch the app. Too bad the Keychain APIs are the worst part of the Security framework :( —Jens
