QtKeychain
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
QtKeychain is a Qt API to securely write and read passwords. The passwords are stored in the platform's keychain service.
|
|
In case there is no such service available, QtKeychain will report an error. It will not store any data unencrypted.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the following platforms are supported:
|
|
|
|
* **Mac OS X:** Passwords are stored in the OS X Keychain.
|
|
|
|
* **Linux/Unix:** If running, KWallet (via D-Bus) is used.
|
|
Support for the GNOME Keyring via freedesktop.org's
|
|
[Secret Storage D-Bus specification](http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec "Secret Storage specification") is planned but not yet implemented.
|
|
|
|
* **Windows:** Windows does not provide a service for secure storage. QtKeychain uses the Windows API function [CryptProtectData](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380261%28v=vs.85%29.aspx "CryptProtectData function") to encrypt the password with the user's logon credentials. The encrypted data is then persisted via QSettings.
