'  In Apple Keychain, the label for an item such as a private key is a user-friendly identifier that helps distinguish one item from
'  another in the Keychain. It is typically a brief name or description associated with the item. 
'  The label is displayed in the Keychain Access application and is useful for quickly identifying the purpose
'  or source of a specific key, certificate, or password entry.

'  The label does not affect the functionality or security of the item; it is purely for organizational purposes. 
'  You can edit or assign labels to make your Keychain easier to navigate.

'  On MacOS, you can save the private key to the Keychain by calling SavePkcs8File with a "filename" in the format"keychain:<label>"
success = privKey.SavePkcs8File("keychain:MyEcdsaKey123")
If success = False Then
    Log(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Log("Success.")
