Class Method Summary

.new(key, cert_chain, passphrase = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Signer constructor

Creates a new signer with an RSA #key or path to a key, and a certificate chain containing X509 certificates, encoding certificates or paths to certificates.
.re_sign_cert(expired_cert, expired_cert_path, private_key) {|expired_cert_path, new_expired_cert_path| ... }

Attemps to re-sign an expired cert with a given private key.

#extract_name(cert)

This method is for internal use only.

Extracts the full name of cert. If the certificate has a subjectAltName this value is preferred, otherwise the subject is used.

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rubygems/security/signer.rb', line 108


def extract_name(cert) # :nodoc:
  subject_alt_name = cert.extensions.find { |e| 'subjectAltName' == e.oid }

  if subject_alt_name
    /\Aemail:/ =~ subject_alt_name.value

    $' || subject_alt_name.value
  else
    cert.subject
  end
end

#load_cert_chain

This method is for internal use only.

Loads any missing issuers in the cert chain from the trusted certificates.

If the issuer does not exist it is ignored as it will be checked later.

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rubygems/security/signer.rb', line 125


def load_cert_chain # :nodoc:
  return if @cert_chain.empty?

  while @cert_chain.first.issuer.to_s != @cert_chain.first.subject.to_s do
    issuer = Gem::Security.trust_dir.issuer_of @cert_chain.first

    break unless issuer # cert chain is verified later

    @cert_chain.unshift issuer
  end
end

#re_sign_key(expiration_length: Gem::Security::ONE_YEAR)

This method is for internal use only.

Attempts to re-sign the private key if the signing certificate is expired.

The key will be re-signed if:

The expired certificate is self-signed
The expired certificate is saved at ~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem and the private key is saved at ~/.gem/gem-private_key.pem
There is no file matching the expiry date at ~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem.expired.%Y%m%d%H%M%S

If the signing certificate can be re-signed the expired certificate will be saved as ~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem.expired.%Y%m%d%H%M%S where the expiry time (not after) is used for the timestamp.
