OpenSSL for Ruby
OpenSSL for Ruby provides access to SSL/TLS and general-purpose
cryptography based on the OpenSSL library.
OpenSSL for Ruby is sometimes referred to as openssl in all lowercase
or Ruby/OpenSSL for disambiguation.
Compatibility and maintenance policy
OpenSSL for Ruby is released as a RubyGems gem. At the same time, it is part of
the standard library of Ruby. This is called a default gem.
Each stable branch of OpenSSL for Ruby will remain supported as long as it is
included as a default gem in supported Ruby branches.
| Version | Minimum Ruby | OpenSSL compatibility | Bundled with | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.0.x | Ruby 2.7 | OpenSSL 1.1.1-3.x, LibreSSL 3.9+, AWS-LC | Ruby 4.0 | bug fixes |
| 3.3.x | Ruby 2.7 | OpenSSL 1.0.2-3.x, LibreSSL 3.1+ | Ruby 3.4 | bug fixes |
| 3.2.x | Ruby 2.7 | OpenSSL 1.0.2-3.x, LibreSSL 3.1+ | Ruby 3.3 | bug fixes |
| 3.1.x | Ruby 2.6 | OpenSSL 1.0.2-3.x, LibreSSL 3.1+ | Ruby 3.2 | security only |
| 3.0.x | Ruby 2.6 | OpenSSL 1.0.2-3.x, LibreSSL 3.1+ | Ruby 3.1 | end-of-life |
| 2.2.x | Ruby 2.3 | OpenSSL 1.0.1-1.1.1, LibreSSL 2.9+ | Ruby 3.0 | end-of-life |
| 2.1.x | Ruby 2.3 | OpenSSL 1.0.1-1.1.1, LibreSSL 2.5+ | Ruby 2.5-2.7 | end-of-life |
| 2.0.x | Ruby 2.3 | OpenSSL 0.9.8-1.1.1, LibreSSL 2.3+ | Ruby 2.4 | end-of-life |
Installation
Note
The openssl gem is included with Ruby by default, but you may wish to upgrade
it to a newer version available at rubygems.org.
To upgrade it, you can use RubyGems:
gem install openssl
In some cases, it may be necessary to specify the path to the installation
directory of the OpenSSL library.
gem install openssl -- --with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl
Alternatively, you can install the gem with Bundler:
# Gemfile
gem 'openssl'
# or specify git master
gem 'openssl', git: 'https://github.com/ruby/openssl'
After running bundle install, you should have the gem installed in your bundle.
Usage
Once installed, you can require "openssl" in your application.
require "openssl"
