Overview

A Policy object encapsulates the settings for verifying signed gem files. This is the base class. You can either declare an instance of this or use one of the preset security policies in Policies.

Class Method Summary

.new(name, policy = {}, opt = {}) ⇒ Policy constructor

Create a new Policy object with the given mode and options.

Instance Method Summary

#check_cert(signer, issuer, time)

Ensures that signer is valid for Gem.time and was signed by the issuer.
#check_chain(chain, time)

Verifies each certificate in chain has signed the following certificate and is valid for the given Gem.time.
#check_data(public_key, digest, signature, data)

Verifies that data matches the signature created by public_key and the digest algorithm.
#check_key(signer, key)

Ensures the public key of key matches the public key in signer

Ensures the root certificate in chain is self-signed and valid for Gem.time.
#check_trust(chain, digester, trust_dir)

Ensures the root of chain has a trusted certificate in trust_dir and the digests of the two certificates match according to digester
#verify(chain, key = nil, digests = {}, signatures = {}, full_name = '(unknown)')

For full_name, verifies the certificate chain is valid, the digests match the signatures signatures created by the signer depending on the policy settings.
#verify_signatures(spec, digests, signatures)

Extracts the certificate chain from the spec and calls #verify to ensure the signatures and certificate chain is valid according to the policy..

::Gem::DefaultUserInteraction - Included

#use_ui

See DefaultUserInteraction.use_ui

::Gem::Text - Included

#clean_text	Remove any non-printable characters and make the text suitable for printing.
#format_text	Wraps `text` to `wrap` characters and optionally indents by `indent` characters.
#levenshtein_distance	This code is based directly on the ::Gem::Text gem implementation Returns a value representing the “cost” of transforming str1 into str2.
