# == Overview
#
# Gem::Security implements cryptographic signatures in RubyGems.  The section
# below is a step-by-step guide to using signed gems and generating your own.
#
# == Walkthrough
#
# In order to start signing your gems, you'll need to build a private key and
# a self-signed certificate.  Here's how:
#
#   # build a private key and certificate for gemmaster@example.com
#   $ gem cert --build gemmaster@example.com
#
# This could take anywhere from 5 seconds to 10 minutes, depending on the
# speed of your computer (public key algorithms aren't exactly the speediest
# crypto algorithms in the world).  When it's finished, you'll see the files
# "gem-private_key.pem" and "gem-public_cert.pem" in the current directory.
#
# First things first: take the "gem-private_key.pem" file and move it
# somewhere private, preferably a directory only you have access to, a floppy
# (yuck!), a CD-ROM, or something comparably secure.  Keep your private key
# hidden; if it's compromised, someone can sign packages as you (note: PKI has
# ways of mitigating the risk of stolen keys; more on that later).
#
# Now, let's sign an existing gem.  I'll be using my Imlib2-Ruby bindings, but
# you can use whatever gem you'd like.  Open up your existing gemspec file and
# add the following lines:
#
#   # signing key and certificate chain
#   s.signing_key = '/mnt/floppy/gem-private_key.pem'
#   s.cert_chain  = ['gem-public_cert.pem']
#
# (Be sure to replace "/mnt/floppy" with the ultra-secret path to your private
# key).
#
# After that, go ahead and build your gem as usual.  Congratulations, you've
# just built your first signed gem!  If you peek inside your gem file, you'll
# see a couple of new files have been added:
#
#   $ tar tf tar tf Imlib2-Ruby-0.5.0.gem
#   data.tar.gz
#   data.tar.gz.sig
#   metadata.gz
#   metadata.gz.sig
#
# Now let's verify the signature.  Go ahead and install the gem, but add the
# following options: "-P HighSecurity", like this:
#
#   # install the gem with using the security policy "HighSecurity"
#   $ sudo gem install Imlib2-Ruby-0.5.0.gem -P HighSecurity
#
# The -P option sets your security policy -- we'll talk about that in just a
# minute.  Eh, what's this?
#
#   Attempting local installation of 'Imlib2-Ruby-0.5.0.gem'
#   ERROR:  Error installing gem Imlib2-Ruby-0.5.0.gem[.gem]: Couldn't
#   verify data signature: Untrusted Signing Chain Root: cert =
#   '/CN=gemmaster/DC=example/DC=com', error = 'path
#   "/root/.rubygems/trust/cert-15dbb43a6edf6a70a85d4e784e2e45312cff7030.pem"
#   does not exist'
#
# The culprit here is the security policy.  RubyGems has several different
# security policies.  Let's take a short break and go over the security
# policies.  Here's a list of the available security policies, and a brief
# description of each one:
#
# * NoSecurity - Well, no security at all.  Signed packages are treated like
#   unsigned packages.
# * LowSecurity - Pretty much no security.  If a package is signed then
#   RubyGems will make sure the signature matches the signing
#   certificate, and that the signing certificate hasn't expired, but
#   that's it.  A malicious user could easily circumvent this kind of
#   security.
# * MediumSecurity - Better than LowSecurity and NoSecurity, but still
#   fallible.  Package contents are verified against the signing
#   certificate, and the signing certificate is checked for validity,
#   and checked against the rest of the certificate chain (if you don't
#   know what a certificate chain is, stay tuned, we'll get to that).
#   The biggest improvement over LowSecurity is that MediumSecurity
#   won't install packages that are signed by untrusted sources.
#   Unfortunately, MediumSecurity still isn't totally secure -- a
#   malicious user can still unpack the gem, strip the signatures, and
#   distribute the gem unsigned.
# * HighSecurity - Here's the bugger that got us into this mess.
#   The HighSecurity policy is identical to the MediumSecurity policy,
#   except that it does not allow unsigned gems.  A malicious user
#   doesn't have a whole lot of options here; he can't modify the
#   package contents without invalidating the signature, and he can't
#   modify or remove signature or the signing certificate chain, or
#   RubyGems will simply refuse to install the package.  Oh well, maybe
#   he'll have better luck causing problems for CPAN users instead :).
#
# So, the reason RubyGems refused to install our shiny new signed gem was
# because it was from an untrusted source.  Well, my code is infallible
# (hah!), so I'm going to add myself as a trusted source.
#
# Here's how:
#
#     # add trusted certificate
#     gem cert --add gem-public_cert.pem
#
# I've added my public certificate as a trusted source.  Now I can install
# packages signed my private key without any hassle.  Let's try the install
# command above again:
#
#   # install the gem with using the HighSecurity policy (and this time
#   # without any shenanigans)
#   $ sudo gem install Imlib2-Ruby-0.5.0.gem -P HighSecurity
#
# This time RubyGems should accept your signed package and begin installing.
# While you're waiting for RubyGems to work it's magic, have a look at some of
# the other security commands:
#
#   Usage: gem cert [options]
#
#   Options:
#     -a, --add CERT          Add a trusted certificate.
#     -l, --list              List trusted certificates.
#     -r, --remove STRING     Remove trusted certificates containing STRING.
#     -b, --build EMAIL_ADDR  Build private key and self-signed certificate
#                             for EMAIL_ADDR.
#     -C, --certificate CERT  Certificate for --sign command.
#     -K, --private-key KEY   Private key for --sign command.
#     -s, --sign NEWCERT      Sign a certificate with my key and certificate.
#
# (By the way, you can pull up this list any time you'd like by typing "gem
# cert --help")
#
# Hmm.  We've already covered the "--build" option, and the "--add", "--list",
# and "--remove" commands seem fairly straightforward; they allow you to add,
# list, and remove the certificates in your trusted certificate list.  But
# what's with this "--sign" option?
#
# To answer that question, let's take a look at "certificate chains", a
# concept I mentioned earlier.  There are a couple of problems with
# self-signed certificates: first of all, self-signed certificates don't offer
# a whole lot of security.  Sure, the certificate says Yukihiro Matsumoto, but
# how do I know it was actually generated and signed by matz himself unless he
# gave me the certificate in person?
#
# The second problem is scalability.  Sure, if there are 50 gem authors, then
# I have 50 trusted certificates, no problem.  What if there are 500 gem
# authors?  1000?  Having to constantly add new trusted certificates is a
# pain, and it actually makes the trust system less secure by encouraging
# RubyGems users to blindly trust new certificates.
#
# Here's where certificate chains come in.  A certificate chain establishes an
# arbitrarily long chain of trust between an issuing certificate and a child
# certificate.  So instead of trusting certificates on a per-developer basis,
# we use the PKI concept of certificate chains to build a logical hierarchy of
# trust.  Here's a hypothetical example of a trust hierarchy based (roughly)
# on geography:
#
#
#                         --------------------------
#                         | rubygems@rubyforge.org |
#                         --------------------------
#                                     |
#                   -----------------------------------
#                   |                                 |
#       ----------------------------    -----------------------------
#       | seattle.rb@zenspider.com |    | dcrubyists@richkilmer.com |
#       ----------------------------    -----------------------------
#            |                |                 |             |
#     ---------------   ----------------   -----------   --------------
#     | alf@seattle |   | bob@portland |   | pabs@dc |   | tomcope@dc |
#     ---------------   ----------------   -----------   --------------
#
#
# Now, rather than having 4 trusted certificates (one for alf@seattle,
# bob@portland, pabs@dc, and tomecope@dc), a user could actually get by with 1
# certificate: the "rubygems@rubyforge.org" certificate.  Here's how it works:
#
# I install "Alf2000-Ruby-0.1.0.gem", a package signed by "alf@seattle".  I've
# never heard of "alf@seattle", but his certificate has a valid signature from
# the "seattle.rb@zenspider.com" certificate, which in turn has a valid
# signature from the "rubygems@rubyforge.org" certificate.  Voila!  At this
# point, it's much more reasonable for me to trust a package signed by
# "alf@seattle", because I can establish a chain to "rubygems@rubyforge.org",
# which I do trust.
#
# And the "--sign" option allows all this to happen.  A developer creates
# their build certificate with the "--build" option, then has their
# certificate signed by taking it with them to their next regional Ruby meetup
# (in our hypothetical example), and it's signed there by the person holding
# the regional RubyGems signing certificate, which is signed at the next
# RubyConf by the holder of the top-level RubyGems certificate.  At each point
# the issuer runs the same command:
#
#   # sign a certificate with the specified key and certificate
#   # (note that this modifies client_cert.pem!)
#   $ gem cert -K /mnt/floppy/issuer-priv_key.pem -C issuer-pub_cert.pem
#      --sign client_cert.pem
#
# Then the holder of issued certificate (in this case, our buddy
# "alf@seattle"), can start using this signed certificate to sign RubyGems.
# By the way, in order to let everyone else know about his new fancy signed
# certificate, "alf@seattle" would change his gemspec file to look like this:
#
#   # signing key (still kept in an undisclosed location!)
#   s.signing_key = '/mnt/floppy/alf-private_key.pem'
#
#   # certificate chain (includes the issuer certificate now too)
#   s.cert_chain  = ['/home/alf/doc/seattlerb-public_cert.pem',
#                    '/home/alf/doc/alf_at_seattle-public_cert.pem']
#
# Obviously, this RubyGems trust infrastructure doesn't exist yet.  Also, in
# the "real world" issuers actually generate the child certificate from a
# certificate request, rather than sign an existing certificate.  And our
# hypothetical infrastructure is missing a certificate revocation system.
# These are that can be fixed in the future...
#
# I'm sure your new signed gem has finished installing by now (unless you're
# installing rails and all it's dependencies, that is ;D).  At this point you
# should know how to do all of these new and interesting things:
#
# * build a gem signing key and certificate
# * modify your existing gems to support signing
# * adjust your security policy
# * modify your trusted certificate list
# * sign a certificate
#
# If you've got any questions, feel free to contact me at the email address
# below.  The next couple of sections
#
#
# == Command-Line Options
#
# Here's a brief summary of the certificate-related command line options:
#
#   gem install
#     -P, --trust-policy POLICY        Specify gem trust policy.
#
#   gem cert
#     -a, --add CERT                   Add a trusted certificate.
#     -l, --list                       List trusted certificates.
#     -r, --remove STRING              Remove trusted certificates containing
#                                      STRING.
#     -b, --build EMAIL_ADDR           Build private key and self-signed
#                                      certificate for EMAIL_ADDR.
#     -C, --certificate CERT           Certificate for --sign command.
#     -K, --private-key KEY            Private key for --sign command.
#     -s, --sign NEWCERT               Sign a certificate with my key and
#                                      certificate.
#
# A more detailed description of each options is available in the walkthrough
# above.
#
#
# == OpenSSL Reference
#
# The .pem files generated by --build and --sign are just basic OpenSSL PEM
# files.  Here's a couple of useful commands for manipulating them:
#
#   # convert a PEM format X509 certificate into DER format:
#   # (note: Windows .cer files are X509 certificates in DER format)
#   $ openssl x509 -in input.pem -outform der -out output.der
#
#   # print out the certificate in a human-readable format:
#   $ openssl x509 -in input.pem -noout -text
#
# And you can do the same thing with the private key file as well:
#
#   # convert a PEM format RSA key into DER format:
#   $ openssl rsa -in input_key.pem -outform der -out output_key.der
#
#   # print out the key in a human readable format:
#   $ openssl rsa -in input_key.pem -noout -text
#
# == Bugs/TODO
#
# * There's no way to define a system-wide trust list.
# * custom security policies (from a YAML file, etc)
# * Simple method to generate a signed certificate request
# * Support for OCSP, SCVP, CRLs, or some other form of cert
#   status check (list is in order of preference)
# * Support for encrypted private keys
# * Some sort of semi-formal trust hierarchy (see long-winded explanation
#   above)
# * Path discovery (for gem certificate chains that don't have a self-signed
#   root) -- by the way, since we don't have this, THE ROOT OF THE CERTIFICATE
#   CHAIN MUST BE SELF SIGNED if Policy#verify_root is true (and it is for the
#   MediumSecurity and HighSecurity policies)
# * Better explanation of X509 naming (ie, we don't have to use email
#   addresses)
# * Possible alternate signing mechanisms (eg, via PGP).  this could be done
#   pretty easily by adding a :signing_type attribute to the gemspec, then add
#   the necessary support in other places
# * Honor AIA field (see note about OCSP above)
# * Maybe honor restriction extensions?
# * Might be better to store the certificate chain as a PKCS#7 or PKCS#12
#   file, instead of an array embedded in the metadata.  ideas?
# * Possibly embed signature and key algorithms into metadata (right now
#   they're assumed to be the same as what's set in Gem::Security::OPT)
