Commands will be placed in this namespace
Provides 3 methods for declaring when something is going away.
+deprecate(name, repl, year, month)+:
Indicate something may be removed on/after a certain date.
+rubygems_deprecate(name, replacement=:none)+:
Indicate something will be removed in the next major RubyGems version, and (optionally) a replacement for it.
rubygems_deprecate_command
:
Indicate a RubyGems command (in +lib/rubygems/commands/*.rb+) will be removed in the next RubyGems version.
Also provides skip_during
for temporarily turning off deprecation warnings. This is intended to be used in the test suite, so deprecation warnings don’t cause test failures if you need to make sure stderr is otherwise empty.
Example usage of deprecate
and rubygems_deprecate
:
class Legacy def self.some_class_method # ... end def some_instance_method # ... end def some_old_method # ... end extend Gem::Deprecate deprecate :some_instance_method, "X.z", 2011, 4 rubygems_deprecate :some_old_method, "Modern#some_new_method" class << self extend Gem::Deprecate deprecate :some_class_method, :none, 2011, 4 end end
Example usage of rubygems_deprecate_command
:
class Gem::Commands::QueryCommand < Gem::Command extend Gem::Deprecate rubygems_deprecate_command # ... end
Example usage of skip_during
:
class TestSomething < Gem::Testcase def test_some_thing_with_deprecations Gem::Deprecate.skip_during do actual_stdout, actual_stderr = capture_output do Gem.something_deprecated end assert_empty actual_stdout assert_equal(expected, actual_stderr) end end end

Implementation of an X.509 certificate as specified in RFC 5280. Provides access to a certificate’s attributes and allows certificates to be read from a string, but also supports the creation of new certificates from scratch.
Certificate
is capable of handling DER-encoded certificates and certificates encoded in OpenSSL’s PEM format.
raw = File.binread "cert.cer" # DER- or PEM-encoded certificate = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new raw
A certificate may be encoded in DER format
cert = ... File.open("cert.cer", "wb") { |f| f.print cert.to_der }
or in PEM format
cert = ... File.open("cert.pem", "wb") { |f| f.print cert.to_pem }
X.509 certificates are associated with a private/public key pair, typically a RSA, DSA or ECC key (see also OpenSSL::PKey::RSA
, OpenSSL::PKey::DSA
and OpenSSL::PKey::EC
), the public key itself is stored within the certificate and can be accessed in form of an OpenSSL::PKey
. Certificates are typically used to be able to associate some form of identity with a key pair, for example web servers serving pages over HTTPs use certificates to authenticate themselves to the user.
The public key infrastructure (PKI) model relies on trusted certificate authorities (“root CAs”) that issue these certificates, so that end users need to base their trust just on a selected few authorities that themselves again vouch for subordinate CAs issuing their certificates to end users.
The OpenSSL::X509
module provides the tools to set up an independent PKI, similar to scenarios where the ‘openssl’ command line tool is used for issuing certificates in a private PKI.
First, we need to create a “self-signed” root certificate. To do so, we need to generate a key first. Please note that the choice of “1” as a serial number is considered a security flaw for real certificates. Secure choices are integers in the two-digit byte range and ideally not sequential but secure random numbers, steps omitted here to keep the example concise.
root_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048 # the CA's public/private key root_ca = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new root_ca.version = 2 # cf. RFC 5280 - to make it a "v3" certificate root_ca.serial = 1 root_ca.subject = OpenSSL::X509::Name.parse "/DC=org/DC=ruby-lang/CN=Ruby CA" root_ca.issuer = root_ca.subject # root CA's are "self-signed" root_ca.public_key = root_key.public_key root_ca.not_before = Time.now root_ca.not_after = root_ca.not_before + 2 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 # 2 years validity ef = OpenSSL::X509::ExtensionFactory.new ef.subject_certificate = root_ca ef.issuer_certificate = root_ca root_ca.add_extension(ef.create_extension("basicConstraints","CA:TRUE",true)) root_ca.add_extension(ef.create_extension("keyUsage","keyCertSign, cRLSign", true)) root_ca.add_extension(ef.create_extension("subjectKeyIdentifier","hash",false)) root_ca.add_extension(ef.create_extension("authorityKeyIdentifier","keyid:always",false)) root_ca.sign(root_key, OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256'))
The next step is to create the end-entity certificate using the root CA certificate.
key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048 cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new cert.version = 2 cert.serial = 2 cert.subject = OpenSSL::X509::Name.parse "/DC=org/DC=ruby-lang/CN=Ruby certificate" cert.issuer = root_ca.subject # root CA is the issuer cert.public_key = key.public_key cert.not_before = Time.now cert.not_after = cert.not_before + 1 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 # 1 years validity ef = OpenSSL::X509::ExtensionFactory.new ef.subject_certificate = cert ef.issuer_certificate = root_ca cert.add_extension(ef.create_extension("keyUsage","digitalSignature", true)) cert.add_extension(ef.create_extension("subjectKeyIdentifier","hash",false)) cert.sign(root_key, OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256'))
The top-level class representing any ASN.1 object. When parsed by ASN1.decode
, tagged values are always represented by an instance of ASN1Data
.
ASN1Data
for parsing tagged values When encoding an ASN.1 type it is inherently clear what original type (e.g. INTEGER, OCTET STRING etc.) this value has, regardless of its tagging. But opposed to the time an ASN.1 type is to be encoded, when parsing them it is not possible to deduce the “real type” of tagged values. This is why tagged values are generally parsed into ASN1Data
instances, but with a different outcome for implicit and explicit tagging.
An implicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an ASN1Data
with
tag equal to 1
tag_class equal to :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC
value equal to a String
that carries the raw encoding of the INTEGER.
This implies that a subsequent decoding step is required to completely decode implicitly tagged values.
An explicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an ASN1Data
with
tag equal to 1
tag_class equal to :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC
value equal to an Array
with one single element, an instance of OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer
, i.e. the inner element is the non-tagged primitive value, and the tagging is represented in the outer ASN1Data
