  17 .Nm
  18 maintains security contexts and arbitrates cryptographic operations and Security Authorizations. Access to
  19 keychain items is routed through
  20 .Nm
  21 to enforce access controls and to keep private keys out of
  22 user process address space.  Authorization calls also communicate with
  23 .Nm
  24 to enforce rules contained in the
  25 .Pa /etc/authorization
  26 database.  All user interaction with
  27 .Nm
  28 is mediated through the
  29 .Nm "Security Agent."
