Defined in:
lib/ezsig.rb

Overview

Wraps around the OpenSSL trust store. This allows you to decide which certificates you trust.

You can either point it at a path which contains a OpenSSL trust store (see OpenSSL for more) or build it up manually.

For a certificate to verify you need the issuer and the issuers issuers certs added to the Trust store.

NOTE: Currently this does not support CRL's or OCSP. We may add support for this later.

Instance Method Details

#add(obj) ⇒ Object

Add either a EzCrypto::Certificate or a OpenSSL::X509::Cert object to the TrustStore. This should be a trusted certificate such as a CA’s issuer certificate.

    @store.add_cert obj
  else 
    raise "unsupported object type"
  end
end

#verify(cert) ⇒ Object

Returns true if either the EzCrypto::Certificate or OpenSSL::X509::Cert object is verified using issuer certificates in the trust store.
