// 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:MyRsaKey123")
