I just implemented the Secret Service API in libsecret, so I'm fresh
with the various issues. You can also use libsecret and secret-tool to
test your API a bit.

I have a python mock secret service to test against here:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/libsecret/tree/libsecret/tests/mock

Anyway, all that to say if you run into anything that's not clear please
post on authentication at lists.freedesktop.org and I'll help out.

Note that there's no absolute requirement for any crypto stuff when
implementing the Secret Service API. That's optional.

Cheers,

Stef
