Sample Code: Security
Mac OS X provides a number of authorization, authentication, and cryptographic services that developers can use to build security into their applications. Developers can use certain security-related programming techniques (such as enabling root access) at the Darwin or core OS level to enable applications to perform operations not ordinarily supported by these APIs.
