QtKeychain
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
QtKeychain is a Qt API to store passwords and other secret data securely. How the data is stored depends on the platform:
|
|
|
|
* **Mac OS X:** Passwords are stored in the OS X Keychain.
|
|
|
|
* **Linux/Unix:** If running, GNOME Keyring is used, otherwise
|
|
qtkeychain tries to use KWallet (via D-Bus), if available.
|
|
|
|
* **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.
|
|
|
|
In unsupported environments QtKeychain will report an error. It will not store any data unencrypted unless explicitly requested (setInsecureFallback( true )).
