Answer 1

It looks like you need to import the identity using a PKCS #12 file. See listing 2-2 in https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/CertKeyTrustProgGuide/iPhone_Tasks/iPhone_Tasks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001358-CH208-SW13 .

Answer 2

I will post a separate answer, as comments are not suitable for code sharing.
Here is what I use to import my PKCS12:

CFArrayRef keyref = NULL;
OSStatus sanityChesk = SecPKCS12Import((__bridge CFDataRef)p12Data, 
                                       (__bridge CFDictionaryRef)[NSDictionary 
                                                                  dictionaryWithObject:password 
                                                                  forKey:(__bridge id)kSecImportExportPassphrase], 
                                       &keyref);

if (sanityChesk != noErr) {
    NSLog(@"Error while importing pkcs12 [%d]", sanityChesk);
    return nil;
}

NSArray *keystore = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *)keyref;

The complete p12 content will be in the keystore array.
