    \brief Common API header for CRYPTPLUG.

    CRYPTPLUG is an independent cryptography plug-in API
    developed for Sphinx-enabeling KMail and Mutt.

    CRYPTPLUG was designed for the Aegypten project, but it may
    be used by 3rd party developers as well to design pluggable
    crypto backends for the above mentioned MUAs.

    \note All string parameters appearing in this API are to be
    interpreted as UTF-8 encoded.

    \see pgpplugin.c
    \see gpgplugin.c

/*! \defgroup groupGeneral Loading and Unloading the Plugin, General Functionality

    The functions in this section are used for loading and
    unloading plugins. Note that the actual locating of the plugin
    and the loading and unloading of the dynamic library is not
    covered here; this is MUA-specific code for which support code
    might already exist in the programming environments.
*/

/*! \defgroup groupDisplay Graphical Display Functionality

    The functions in this section return stationery that the
    MUAs can use in order to display security functionality
    graphically. This can be toolbar icons, shortcuts, tooltips,
    etc. Not all MUAs will use all this functionality.
*/

/*! \defgroup groupConfig Configuration Support

    The functions in this section provide the necessary
    functionality to configure the security functionality as well
    as to query configuration settings. Since all configuration
    settings will not be saved with the plugin, but rather with
    the MUA, there are also functions to set configuration
    settings programmatically; these will be used on startup of
    the plugin when the MUA transfers the configuration values it
    has read into the plugin. Usually, the functions to query and
    set the configuration values are not needed for anything but
    saving to and restoring from configuration files.
*/

    \ingroup groupConfig

    The functions in this section provide the functionality
    to configure encryption handling and set and query the

    \note Whenever the term <b> encryption</b> is used here,
    it is supposed to mean both encryption and decryption,
    unless otherwise specified.

/*! \ingroup groupSignCryptAct
   \brief Information record returned by signing and by encrypting
   functions - this record should be used together with a
   corresponding \c free_StructuringInfo() function call.

   Use this information to compose a MIME object containing signed
   and/or encrypted content (or to build a text frame around your
   flat non-MIME message body, resp.)

   <b>If</b> value returned in \c makeMimeObject is <b>TRUE</b> the
   text strings returned in \c contentTypeMain and \c contentDispMain
   and \c contentTEncMain (and, if required, \c content[..]Version and
   \c bodyTextVersion and \c content[..]Sig) should be used to compose
   a respective MIME object.<br>
   If <b>FALSE</b> the texts returned in \c flatTextPrefix and
   \c flatTextSeparator and \c flatTextPostfix are to be used instead.<br>
   Allways <b>either</b> the \c content[..] and \c bodyTextVersion
   parameters <b>or</b> the \c flatText[..] parameters are holding
   valid data - never both of them may be used simultaneously
   as plugins will just ignore the parameters not matching their
   \c makeMimeObject setting.

   When creating your MIME object please observe these common rules:
   \li Parameters named \c contentType[..] and \c contentDisp[..] and
   \c contentTEnc[..] will return the values for the respective MIME
   headers 'Content-Type' and 'Content-Disposition' and
   'Content-Transfer-Encoding'. The following applies to these parameters:
   \li The relevant MIME part may <b>only</b> be created if the respective
   \c contentType[..] parameter is holding a non-zero-length string. If the
   \c contentType[..] parameter value is invalid or holding an empty string
   the respective \c contentDisp[..] and \c contentTEnc[..] parameters
   should be ignored.
   \li If the respective \c contentDisp[..] or \c contentTEnc[..] parameter
   is NULL or holding a zero-length string it is up to you whether you want
   to add the relevant MIME header yourself, but since it in in the
   responsibility of the plugin implementors to provide you with all
   neccessary 'Content-[..]' header information you should <b>not need</b>
   to define them if they are not returned by the signing or encrypting
   function - otherwise this may be considered as a bug in the plugin and
   you could report the missing MIME header information to the address
   returned by the \c bugURL() function.

   If \c makeMultiMime returns FALSE the \c contentTypeMain returned must
   not be altered but used to specify a single part mime object holding the
   code bloc, e.g. this is used for 'enveloped-data' single part MIME
   objects. In this case you should ignore both the \c content[..]Version
   and \c content[..]Code parameters.

   If \c makeMultiMime returns TRUE also the following rules apply:
   \li If \c includeCleartext is TRUE you should include the cleartext
   as first part of our multipart MIME object, typically this is TRUE
   when signing mails but FALSE when encrypting.
   \li The \c contentTypeMain returned typically starts with
   "multipart/" while providing a "protocol" and a "micalg" parameter: just
   add an appropriate \c "; boundary=[your \c boundary \c string]" to get
   the complete Content-Type value to be used for the MIME object embedding
   both the signed part and the signature part (or - in case of
   encrypting - the version part and the code part, resp.).
   \li If \c contentTypeVersion is holding a non-zero-length string an
   additional MIME part must added immediately before the code part, this
   version part's MIME headers must have the unaltered values of
   \c contentTypeVersion and (if they are holding non-zero-length strings)
   \c contentDispVersion and \c contentTEncVersion, the unaltered contents
   of \c bodyTextVersion must be it's body.
   \li The value returned in \c contentTypeCode is specifying the complete
   Content-Type to be used for this multipart MIME object's signature part
   (or - in case of encrypting - for the code part following after the
   version part, resp.), you should not add/change/remove anything here
   but just use it's unaltered value for specifying the Content-Type header
   of the respective MIME part.
   \li The same applies to the \c contentDispCode value: just use it's
   unaltered value to specify the Content-Disposition header entry of
   the respective MIME part.
   \li The same applies to the \c contentTEncCode value: just use it's
   unaltered value to specify the Content-Transfer-Encoding header of
   the respective MIME part.

   <b>If</b> value returned in \c makeMimeObject is <b>FALSE</b> the
   text strings returned in \c flatTextPrefix and \c flatTextPostfix
   should be used to build a frame around the cleartext and the code
   bloc holding the signature (or - in case of encrypting - the encoded
   data bloc, resp.).<br>
   If \c includeCleartext is TRUE this frame should also include the
   cleartext as first bloc, this bloc should be divided from the code bloc
   by the contents of \c flatTextSeparator - typically this is used for
   signing but not when encrypting.<br>
   If \c includeCleartext is FALSE you should ignore both the cleartext
   and the \c flatTextSeparator parameter.

   <b>How to use StructuringInfo data in your program:</b>
   \li To compose a signed message please act as described below.
   \li For constructing an encrypted message just replace the
   \c signMessage() call by the respective \c encryptMessage() call
   and then proceed exactly the same way.
   \li In any case make <b>sure</b> to free your \c ciphertext <b>and</b>
   to call \c free_StructuringInfo() when you are done with processing
   the data returned by the signing (or encrypting, resp.) function.

   \brief Signs a message \c cleartext and returns

          is to be added to the message. The length returned
          in \c *cipherLen tells you the size (==amount of bytes)

          would return with contentTEncCode set to "base64"
          the ciphertext might contain a char 0x00
          and has to be converted into base64 before sending.

   The signature role is specified by \c certificate.
   If \c certificate is \c NULL, the default certificate is used.

   If the message could be signed, the function returns
          \c true, otherwise
