34 * Types and functions related to DBusKeyring. DBusKeyring is intended
35 * to manage cookies used to authenticate clients to servers. This is
36 * essentially the "verify that client can read the user's homedir"
37 * authentication mechanism. Both client and server must have access
40 * The secret keys are not kept in locked memory, and are written to a
41 * file in the user's homedir. However they are transient (only used
42 * by a single server instance for a fixed period of time, then
43 * discarded). Also, the keys are not sent over the wire.
