Vala alternatives to Gnome Keyring OAuth access token storage?

Question

are there good OAuth access token/secret storage alternatives to Gnome Keyring for Vala? The Gnome Keyring bindings solution is extremely buggy as it yields far too many C-errors to make debugging practical. Additionally, I know relatively little about security, so I'd rather not have to write any encryption algorithms myself--a well-documented, stable library that does it for me would be ideal.

Answer 1

libsecret is the replacement for gnome-keyring, which is being deprecated. It has Vala bindings distributed with it. There are examples in the documentation or you can look at the test case: http://git.gnome.org/browse/libsecret/tree/library/tests/test-vala-lang.vala

Also, gnome-keyring now distributes Vala bindings which are based on GObject Introspection, and should be much better than those distributed with valac.
