# = Signing gems
#
# The Gem::Security implements cryptographic signatures for gems. The section
# below is a step-by-step guide to using signed gems and generating your own.
#
# == Walkthrough
#
# === Building your certificate
#
# 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 yourself:
# $ gem cert --build you@example.com
#
# This could take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two, 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: Move both files to ~/.gem if you don't already have a
# key and certificate in that directory. Ensure the file permissions make the
# key unreadable by others (by default the file is saved securely).
#
# 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).
#
# === Signing Gems
#
# In RubyGems 2 and newer there is no extra work to sign a gem. RubyGems will
# automatically find your key and certificate in your home directory and use
# them to sign newly packaged gems.
#
# If your certificate is not self-signed (signed by a third party) RubyGems
# will attempt to load the certificate chain from the trusted certificates.
# Use <code>gem cert --add signing_cert.pem</code> to add your signers as
# trusted certificates. See below for further information on certificate
# chains.
#
# If you build your gem it will automatically be signed. If you peek inside
# your gem file, you'll see a couple of new files have been added:
#
# $ tar tf your-gem-1.0.gem
# metadata.gz
# metadata.gz.sum
# metadata.gz.sig # metadata signature
# data.tar.gz
# data.tar.gz.sum
# data.tar.gz.sig # data signature
#
# === Manually signing gems
#
# If you wish to store your key in a separate secure location you'll need to
# set your gems up for signing by hand. To do this, set the
# <code>signing_key</code> and <code>cert_chain</code> in the gemspec before
# packaging your gem:
#
# s.signing_key = '/secure/path/to/gem-private_key.pem'
# s.cert_chain = %w[/secure/path/to/gem-public_cert.pem]
#
# When you package your gem with these options set RubyGems will automatically
# load your key and certificate from the secure paths.
#
# === Signed gems and security policies
#
# Now let's verify the signature. Go ahead and install the gem, but add the
# following options: <code>-P HighSecurity</code>, like this:
#
# # install the gem with using the security policy "HighSecurity"
# $ sudo gem install your.gem -P HighSecurity
#
# The <code>-P</code> option sets your security policy -- we'll talk about
# that in just a minute. Eh, what's this?
#
# $ gem install -P HighSecurity your-gem-1.0.gem
# ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Security::Exception)
# root cert /CN=you/DC=example is not trusted
#
# 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; they can't modify the
# package contents without invalidating the signature, and they can't
# modify or remove signature or the signing certificate chain, or
# RubyGems will simply refuse to install the package. Oh well, maybe
# they'll have better luck causing problems for CPAN users instead :).
#
# The reason RubyGems refused to install your shiny new signed gem was because
# it was from an untrusted source. Well, your code is infallible (naturally),
# so you need to add yourself as a trusted source:
#
# # add trusted certificate
# gem cert --add ~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem
#
# You've now added your public certificate as a trusted source. Now you can
# install packages signed by your 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)
# $ gem install -P HighSecurity your-gem-1.0.gem
# Successfully installed your-gem-1.0
# 1 gem installed
#
# This time RubyGems will 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 by running <code>gem help cert</code>:
#
# Options:
# -a, --add CERT Add a trusted certificate.
# -l, --list [FILTER] List trusted certificates where the
# subject contains FILTER
# -r, --remove FILTER Remove trusted certificates where the
# subject contains FILTER
# -b, --build EMAIL_ADDR Build private key and self-signed
# certificate for EMAIL_ADDR
# -C, --certificate CERT Signing certificate for --sign
# -K, --private-key KEY Key for --sign or --build
# -s, --sign CERT Signs CERT with the key from -K
# and the certificate from -C
#
# We've already covered the <code>--build</code> option, and the
# <code>--add</code>, <code>--list</code>, and <code>--remove</code> commands
# seem fairly straightforward; they allow you to add, list, and remove the
# certificates in your trusted certificate list. But what's with this
# <code>--sign</code> option?
#
# === Certificate chains
#
# 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@rubygems.org |
# --------------------------
# |
# -----------------------------------
# | |
# ---------------------------- -----------------------------
# | seattlerb@seattlerb.org | | dcrubyists@richkilmer.com |
# ---------------------------- -----------------------------
# | | | |
# --------------- ---------------- ----------- --------------
# | drbrain | | zenspider | | pabs@dc | | tomcope@dc |
# --------------- ---------------- ----------- --------------
#
#
# Now, rather than having 4 trusted certificates (one for drbrain, zenspider,
# pabs@dc, and tomecope@dc), a user could actually get by with one
# certificate, the "rubygems@rubygems.org" certificate.
#
# Here's how it works:
#
# I install "rdoc-3.12.gem", a package signed by "drbrain". I've never heard
# of "drbrain", but his certificate has a valid signature from the
# "seattle.rb@seattlerb.org" certificate, which in turn has a valid signature
# from the "rubygems@rubygems.org" certificate. Voila! At this point, it's
# much more reasonable for me to trust a package signed by "drbrain", because
# I can establish a chain to "rubygems@rubygems.org", which I do trust.
#
# === Signing certificates
#
# The <code>--sign</code> option allows all this to happen. A developer
# creates their build certificate with the <code>--build</code> 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, your buddy "drbrain"),
# 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,
# "drbrain" would save his newly signed certificate as
# <code>~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem</code>
#
# 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...
#
# At this point you should know how to do all of these new and interesting
# things:
#
# * build a gem signing key and certificate
# * adjust your security policy
# * modify your trusted certificate list
# * sign a certificate
#
# == Manually verifying signatures
#
# In case you don't trust RubyGems you can verify gem signatures manually:
#
# 1. Fetch and unpack the gem
#
# gem fetch some_signed_gem
# tar -xf some_signed_gem-1.0.gem
#
# 2. Grab the public key from the gemspec
#
# gem spec some_signed_gem-1.0.gem cert_chain | \
# ruby -ryaml -e 'puts YAML.load_documents($stdin)' > public_key.crt
#
# 3. Generate a SHA1 hash of the data.tar.gz
#
# openssl dgst -sha1 < data.tar.gz > my.hash
#
# 4. Verify the signature
#
# openssl rsautl -verify -inkey public_key.crt -certin \
# -in data.tar.gz.sig > verified.hash
#
# 5. Compare your hash to the verified hash
#
# diff -s verified.hash my.hash
#
# 6. Repeat 5 and 6 with metadata.gz
#
# == OpenSSL Reference
#
# The .pem files generated by --build and --sign are PEM files. Here's a
# couple of useful OpenSSL 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)
# * Honor AIA field (see note about OCSP above)
# * Honor extension restrictions
# * Might be better to store the certificate chain as a PKCS#7 or PKCS#12
# file, instead of an array embedded in the metadata.
# * Flexible signature and key algorithms, not hard-coded to RSA and SHA1.
