Gem pems?

What does a *.pem file do in a gem, once the gem is installed. I understand
that the pem is a signed key. Once the gem is installed, is the pem used?

Thanks!

Not once it is installed, no. If you install with MediumSecurity or higher, the gem's signing (sign? signature?) is verified. But once it is installed, I believe it is ignored.
