Official documentation for Keychain can be found on the official Keychain wiki page.
Keychain
helps you to manage SSH and GPG keys in a convenient and secure
manner. It acts as a frontend to ssh-agent
and ssh-add
, but allows you
to easily have one long running ssh-agent
process per system, rather than
the norm of one ssh-agent
per login session.
This dramatically reduces the number of times you need to enter your
passphrase. With keychain
, you only need to enter a passphrase once every
time your local machine is rebooted. Keychain
also makes it easy for remote
cron jobs to securely "hook in" to a long running ssh-agent
process,
allowing your scripts to take advantage of key-based logins.
