Yes, right they are path to the files where our public/private keys are being stored. But I think i generate key-pair using Security.framework, SecKeyGeneratePair(). But i don't think this function returns me proper key-pair, because i have generated keypair using other programs which gives me different pair than what i get from the above function. So, i can't authenticate using keypair. Do i need to do any encoding, decoding for the keypair? Anything more can you suggest me so i can implement public/private keys?

If you know can you please let me know about generate key-pair and store it?
