It's all here:

http://specs.freedesktop.org/secret-service/

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/tree/secret-service/org.freedesktop.Secrets.xml

Hopefully you should be able to communicate with both gnome-keyring and
ksecretservice using that DBus API. Gnome keyring hasn't completely
implemented the spec yet (in particular it doesn't support non-utf8
secrets, and perhaps one or two other corner cases).

Cheers,
