Hi,

I'am trying to write some ruby code to access secrets in gnome-keyring
via dbus. After a lot testing I can query secrets but only in plain
mode. But I doesn't understand why it is possible to transfer secrets
unencrypted. So I trying dh-ietf1024-aes128-cbc-pkcs7 encryption but I
get stuck.

I'am generating a public key with DH and transfer it at the OpenSession
call. I received the other public key as result and calculate the
shared secret. I'am hoping this part works. But now I have a 1024 bit
secret and doesn't know how to generate my 128 Bit AES key. I tried to
read your code but I doesn't understand the whole pkcs thing. With the
128 bit key and the IV in each message it should be possible to encrypt
the transferred secret. I'am hoping for some hint.

Apart from this problem I had some problems with dbus discovery. The
freedesktop.org spec[1] writes e.g. org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection as
interface name but you used Secrets with tailing 's' in the
introspection files. Is this a bug? The API works correct with Secret.

And why isn't the service introspectable with some tools as d-feed[2]?
This would make the development a little bit easier.

At last I want to say a big thank you for this great project. Even
apart from gnome I played very much with gnome-keyring. It's amazing
to manage ssh/gpg/X.509 certs/passwords with one nice tool.

Florian
