Defined in:

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::SHA256.new)
#send a request containing this to a server generating a certificate

Verifying an SPKI request

request = #...
spki = OpenSSL::Netscape::SPKI.new request
unless spki.verify(spki.public_key)
  # signature is invalid
end
#proceed

#challenge=(str) ⇒ String

Parameters

  • str - the challenge string to be set for this instance

Sets the challenge to be associated with the SPKI. May be used by the server, e.g. to prevent replay.

Returns:

#sign(key, digest) ⇒ Object

Parameters

  • key - the private key to be used for signing this instance

  • digest - the digest to be used for signing this instance

To sign an SPKI, the private key corresponding to the public key set for this instance should be used, in addition to a digest algorithm in the form of an OpenSSL::Digest. The private key should be an instance of OpenSSL::PKey.
