Password and keyring managing daemon

GNOME Keyring is a collection of components in GNOME that store secrets, passwords, keys, certificates and make them available to applications. It is integrated with the user's login, so that their secret storage can be unlocked when the user logins into their session. It is based around a standard called PKCS#11, which is a standard way for applications to manage certificates and keys on smart cards or secure storage.
