This is a wrapper for keyutils library, providing idiomatic Ruby interface for Linux kernel keyring.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'keyutils'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install keyutils
require 'keyutils'
include Keyutils
ring = Key.find 'keyring', 'myring'
puts "My very secret key is #{ring['secret:key']}"
new_session = Keyring::Session.join
ring = new_session.add 'keyring', 'newring', nil
ring['foo'] = 'bar'
puts `keyctl show @s`
# prints:
# Keyring
# 496820604 --alswrv 1000 1001 keyring: _ses
# 145266026 --alswrv 1000 1001 \_ keyring: newring
