CredentialRefProtocol

public protocol CredentialRefProtocol : AnyObject, Sendable

A reference to a credential which has been persisted in CC.

This is because credentials can be quite large; we’d really like to avoid passing them back and forth across the FFI boundary more than is strictly required. Therefore, we use this type which is substantially more compact.

Created with [CoreCryptoContext::add_credential][crate::CoreCryptoContext::add_credential].

This reference is not a literal reference in memory. It is instead the key from which a credential can be retrieved. This means that it is stable over time and across the FFI boundary.
