Description:

GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier
for applications.
It provides a High-Level Crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing,
signature verification and key management.
Currently it uses GnuPG as its backend but the API isn't restricted to this
engine; in fact we have already developed a backend for CMS (S/MIME).

Because the direct use of GnuPG from an application can be a complicated
programming task, it is suggested that all software should try to use GPGME
instead.
This way bug fixes or improvements can be done at a central place and every
application benefits from this.
