RSA
is an asymmetric public key algorithm that has been formalized in RFC 3447. It is in widespread use in public key infrastructures (PKI) where certificates (cf. OpenSSL::X509::Certificate
) often are issued on the basis of a public/private RSA
key pair. RSA
is used in a wide field of applications such as secure (symmetric) key exchange, e.g. when establishing a secure TLS/SSL connection. It is also used in various digital signature schemes.
An SSLContext
is used to set various options regarding certificates, algorithms, verification, session caching, etc. The SSLContext
is used to create an SSLSocket
.
All attributes must be set before creating an SSLSocket
as the SSLContext
will be frozen afterward.
A StoreContext
is used while validating a single certificate and holds the status involved.
Generic error class for all errors raised in ASN1
and any of the classes defined in it.
The parent class for all primitive encodings. Attributes are the same as for ASN1Data
, with the addition of tagging. Primitive
values can never be encoded with indefinite length form, thus it is not possible to set the indefinite_length attribute for Primitive
and its sub-classes.
Primitive
sub-classes and their mapping to Ruby classes OpenSSL::ASN1::EndOfContent <=> value is always nil
OpenSSL::ASN1::Boolean <=> value is true
or false
OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer
<=> value is an OpenSSL::BN
OpenSSL::ASN1::BitString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::OctetString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::Null <=> value is always nil
OpenSSL::ASN1::Object
<=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::Enumerated <=> value is an OpenSSL::BN
OpenSSL::ASN1::UTF8String <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::NumericString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::T61String <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::VideotexString <=> value is a String

OpenSSL::ASN1::GeneralizedTime <=> value is a Time
OpenSSL::ASN1::GraphicString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::ISO64String <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::GeneralString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::UniversalString <=> value is a String
OpenSSL::ASN1::BMPString <=> value is a String
unused_bits: if the underlying BIT STRING’s length is a multiple of 8 then unused_bits is 0. Otherwise unused_bits indicates the number of bits that are to be ignored in the final octet of the BitString’s value.
OpenSSL::ASN1::ObjectId
NOTE: While OpenSSL::ASN1::ObjectId.new
will allocate a new ObjectId
, it is not typically allocated this way, but rather that are received from parsed ASN1
encodings.
sn: the short name as defined in <openssl/objects.h>.
ln: the long name as defined in <openssl/objects.h>.
oid: the object identifier as a String
, e.g. “1.2.3.4.5”
short_name: alias for sn.
long_name: alias for ln.
With the Exception
of OpenSSL::ASN1::EndOfContent, each Primitive
class constructor takes at least one parameter, the value.
