Updated documentation is available at
http://technorama.net/~oss/ruby/openssl/doc/

The documention isn't complete.

Not all classes or methods are documented.  Callbacks aren't documented 
at all.
Few classes or methods have examples on their usage beyond a simple 
method call.

Here's a summary of what classes are or aren't documented.
Note: "complete" means the method shows up in rdoc, not that there is 
useful documentation on how it works.

90% complete
OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher
OpenSSL::Digest::Digest
OpenSSL::HMAC
OpenSSL::SSL::Session (doesn't exist in 1.8 or 1.9 yet)

75% complete
OpenSSL::PKey::DH
OpenSSL::PKey::DSA
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA

No documentation
ASN1
BN
PKCS*
Random
X509*
SSL*
