High-level .NET bindings for the D-Bus Secret Service API.
These bindings were made using Tmds.DBus.Protocol and Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator, making them trimmer and AOT friendly.
The bindings target .NET 6.0, .NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0.
To get started, add a reference to the Ace4896.DBus.Services.Secrets NuGet package.
The example below shows how to create and retrieve a secret value in the default collection:
// Connect to the D-Bus Secret Service API
// Sessions can use either plaintext or encrypted transport
SecretService secretService = await SecretService.ConnectAsync(EncryptionType.Dh); // DH Key Agreement for Encryption
// Items are stored in within collections
// Collections can be retrieved using their alias
// Note that collection retrieval can fail, so this would need to be handled
Collection? defaultCollection = await secretService.GetDefaultCollectionAsync();
if (defaultCollection == null)
{
// ... handle case where collection is not found
}
// Items are created with the following:
// - Label - The displayed label in e.g. GNOME Keyring, KWallet etc.
// - Lookup Attributes - These are used to search for the item later
// - Secret - The secret value as a byte array
// - Content Type - A content type hint for the secret value
string itemLabel = "MySecretValue";
Dictionary<string, string> lookupAttributes = new()
{
{ "my-lookup-attribute", "my-lookup-attribute-value" }
};
byte[] secretValue = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("my secret value");
string contentType = "text/plain; charset=utf8";
// Note that item creation can fail, e.g. if the collection could not be unlocked
Item? createdItem = await defaultCollection.CreateItemAsync(label, lookupAttributes, secretBytes, contentType, true);
if (createdItem == null)
{
// ... handle case where item creation failed
}
// Later, if we want to retrieve this secret value, we need to search using the same lookup attributes
// Note that it's possible for multiple items to match the provided lookup attributes
Item[] matchedItems = await defaultCollection.SearchItemsAsync(lookupAttributes);
foreach (Item matchedItem in matchedItems)
{
byte[] matchedSecret = await item.GetSecretAsync();
string matchedSecretString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(secret); // my secret value
