__Seckey, SecKeyRef, public and private keys and store not store in KeyChain

Question

I would like to generate public and private key pairs and then store them in a private store, instead of the iphone's key chain. Is there a way to use to use the security apis on the IPhone to generate key pairs and not store them in the keychain? When I looked at the SecKeyRef it is an opaque pointer.

Answer 2
