iOS certificate import

Question

is it possible to import a certificate (p12 or pfx file) programmatically from bundle to the Keychain? I would like to use those certificates in Safari and in my application as well.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible to import the individual cryptographic objects (keys, passwords, certificates and identities) from a p12 or pfx file into the key chain. If you perform this from your app, the imported objects in the key chain are however only "visible" in the application which imported it.
