A keyfile (or key-file) is a file on a computer which contains encryption or license keys.
A common use is web server software running Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Server-specific keys issued by trusted authorities are merged into the keyfile along with the trusted root certificates. By this method keys can be updated without recompiling software or rebooting the server.
