Add easy-to-use interfaces for GnuPG components (scdaemon, dirmngr) #2

@foxcpp

Description

@foxcpp

Protocol reverse-engineering is not fun, but a lot of GnuPG internals are not documented. Why force users to go into this cryptic legacy hell when you are already doing this?

Maybe this library will eventually grow enough big to become a base for Pure Go GPGME :P

  • pinentry
    Password prompts. Already implemented because this is reason why I created go-assuan: I wanted to implement a custom pinentry (see ttyprompt repo).
  • gpg-agent
    Private key storage.
  • dirmngr
    Public key storage, keyserver interaction.
  • scdaemon
    Smartcards interaction (I don't have one so I don't think I will be able to correctly implement it).

If you have anything related to how these components work - I will greatly appreciate any hints.
