What is Security?
The security library provides a convenient interface for interacting with the Mac OS X Keychain, enabling developers to securely store and retrieve sensitive data on Apple's native cryptographic storage system. This library abstracts the underlying Keychain API, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate secure storage functionality into their Ruby applications running on macOS. By leveraging the Keychain, developers can ensure that user credentials, API keys, and other sensitive information are safeguarded within the system's secure storage, enhancing the overall security posture of their applications
