There are two "enhancements" that can be done to ensure that the
user password is detected correctly as wrong or right. Both of these
check are described in BLOBFORMAT document.

The following checks need to be implemented in JtR plug-in.
10. Verify that SHA1HMAC(DSK, TEMP3) == SIG (using VerifyMac) if fail
then password is wrong.
11. Let DEK = Octets 20 though 44 of TEMP1
12. If DEK does not have odd parity in all octets then DBB is corrupt.

VerifyMac is used here :

HMACSHA1 : http://www.koders.com/c/fidF9A73606BEE357A031F14689D03C089777847EFE.aspx
...
Implementing these changes will require understanding securityd's
working (by compiling and debugging securityd). This will require a
Mac computer which I don't have access to. Can someone with a Mac take
over the development of Keychain JtR plug-in from here?
