To be precise it only needs to verify signatures. Signing itself can be done using other tools, like gpg(1). ---------------------------------------- Feature #9439: Remove OpenSSL from stdlib https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9439#change-44515 * Author: Zachary Scott * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: lib * Target version: current: 2.2.0 ---------------------------------------- Regarding [ruby-core:59943], I agree with nobu that we should remove OpenSSL from ruby. It's become too hard to maintain, and would better serve our users to encourage the use of a different implementation. Another benefit of removing OpenSSL is the impact backport fixes have on the release management team. Although I haven't yet determined the extent of work required to remove it (ie: tooling, tests, etc). We can discuss them here. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
