Class: OpenSSL::Netscape::SPKI

| Inherits: | Object | 
| Defined in: | ext/openssl/ossl_ns_spki.c, ext/openssl/ossl_ns_spki.c | 
Overview
A Simple Public Key Infrastructure implementation (pronounced “spooky”). The structure is defined as
PublicKeyAndChallenge ::= SEQUENCE {
  spki SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
  challenge IA5STRING
}
SignedPublicKeyAndChallenge ::= SEQUENCE {
  publicKeyAndChallenge PublicKeyAndChallenge,
  signatureAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
  signature BIT STRING
}where the definitions of SubjectPublicKeyInfo and AlgorithmIdentifier can be found in RFC5280. SPKI is typically used in browsers for generating a public/private key pair and a subsequent certificate request, using the HTML <keygen> element.
Examples
Creating an SPKI
key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048
spki = OpenSSL::Netscape::SPKI.new
spki.challenge = "RandomChallenge"
spki.public_key = key.public_key
spki.sign(key, OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256'))
#send a request containing this to a server generating a certificateVerifying an SPKI request
request = #...
spki = OpenSSL::Netscape::SPKI.new request
unless spki.verify(spki.public_key)
  # signature is invalid
end
