i want to use ssl for application to application encryption. for eg. i  
can have a server running at port 1021 running ssl. i want the clients  
connecting to it to use its public key for sending data.  
i am at a concept level and would love to see any technical specifics  
that exists in ruby so i can build a prototype.  
any ideas

ruby-ldapserver is some code I wrote years ago, but it has SSL server  
functionality; you can dig through the code to find it (it’s pretty  
simple really).

It supports two modes: start SSL immediately (like LDAPS on port 636 or  
HTTPS on port 443), or SSL upgrade within a session on request.
