I have worked with NSUserDefault
but this keychain concept is totally new for me.
I have tried looking for similar Questions but couldn't find the exact reason to do so.
What I have done:
I already know how to store data in NSUserDefault
. and also the reason why do we need to store it.
Regarding Keychain I just know that storing in keychain stores the data with some extra security by encoding the original text while NSUserDefault
stores the data as plain text.
Is this the only reason for storing the data in keychain?
