I may be barking up the wrong tree altogether, but I’m trying to
generate a public and private key, optionally protected by a passphrase,
and use them to encrypt and decrypt a database password. Has anyone done
this in Ruby with OpenSSL? If so, would you mind gving me a few tips?
I’ve tried several things with no luck. The OpenSSL library for Ruby is
impressive, but poorly documented. 
Any pointers would be appreciated.
