You're welcome, thanks for fixing up the code :)

Do you think it'd make sense to implement a decryption functionality? If so,
how should Wireshark get the required password(s)? The original daemon uses a
username/password file (similar to Apache's htpasswd files) for this.

I'm having basically two ideas:
  - Specify that password map in the preferences pane and implement
    reading of that file in the dissector, too (it's easy enough, I think).
  - Implement a “Decrypt / Verify …” context menu (you know, when
right-clicking
    on the encrypted / signed part). When clicked, a password box appears which
    the user can use to provide the necessary password.

Regards,
