Plugins Module

Plugin system infrastructure for ThemisDB.

Module Purpose

Implements the plugin system infrastructure for ThemisDB, providing dynamic plugin loading, secure plugin execution with manifest validation and signing, and plugin lifecycle management.

Subsystem Scope

In scope: Dynamic shared library loading, plugin manifest validation, Ed25519 signing/verification, plugin lifecycle (register/initialize/execute/shutdown), capability-based permissions.

Out of scope: Plugin business logic (in individual plugin packages), WASM sandboxing (planned), plugin dependency registry (planned).

Relevant Interfaces

  • plugin_loader.cpp — dynamic library loading and registration
  • plugin_api.cpp — plugin API implementation
  • manifest_validator.cpp — manifest schema validation
  • plugin_signer.cpp — signing/verification

Current Delivery Status

Maturity: 🔴 Alpha — Core plugin loading and manifest validation operational; WASM sandbox and Ed25519 signing in progress.
