support for cryptography to a program.  It is designed to make access
to crypto engines like GnuPG or GpgSM easier for applications.  GPGME
provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing,
signature verification and key management.

   GPGME uses GnuPG and GpgSM as its backends to support OpenPGP and
the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
