Hi,
I'm still quite new to using lua as a dissector language. I managed to 
write a first dissector for our specific messages. The message itself is 
encrypted so for passing the data to the next layer (dissector) I have 
to decrypt the data. How do I do that?
My code so far:

function mpiccom7_proto.dissector(buffer,pinfo,tree)

     pinfo.cols.protocol = "com7"       -- fill protocol column

     local data  = buffer():string()     -- string version of the buffer 

     local datalen = buffer:len()

     -- fill info pane -----------------------
     local t = tree:add(mpiccom7_proto,buffer())
     t:add(f_len,datalen)
     t:add(f_checksum,buffer(datalen-1,1))

     -- evaluate checksum --------------------
     local framecheck
     framecheck = 0
     for i = 1, data:len()-1     -- for all the chars in buffer string
     do
         framecheck = framecheck + buffer(i,1):uint()
     end
     if framecheck == 0 then    -- no frameerror! continue!
        t:add(f_frameerror,0)
        ... do some decryption here?!
     else                       -- frameerror!
        t:add(f_frameerror,1)
     end
end

That works so far. Now, if the checksum is ok (no frameerror) I would 
like to decrypt the data and pass it to the next dissector to evaluate 
the content of the frame further.
