I've created some API in gcr which allows use of our method for
exchanging secrets between processes. This is the DH key agreement
process we use in the Secret Service API [1] and for communicating with
our prompting subprocess.
The reason we need this as an API, is so that we can securely have the
gnome-shell handle the prompts for gnome-keyring [2].
Documentation of the API is here:
http://people.collabora.com/~stefw/gcr-docs/gcr-GcrSecretExchange.html
And the bug for implementation is here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656955
Anyone want to look this over before I merge it?
Cheers,
Stef
