I am working on OpenSSL implementation for IronRuby. base on ruby  
spec, the results looked like this.

4 files, 8 examples, 2 expectations, 2 failures, 6 errors

My first implementation is  
[http://github.com/Jirapong/ironruby/commit/975853418ba31ba51354db2ba79f3786270a3941](http://github.com/Jirapong/ironruby/commit/975853418ba31ba51354db2ba79f3786270a3941)  
After that, results:

4 files, 8 examples, 770 expectations, 0 failures, 2 errors

There are more methods and specs require in order to make rubygems and  
rails work.

e.g. From rubygems unit tests

4: uninitialized constant OpenSSL::X509  
2: uninitialized constant OpenSSL::PKey  
2: SSL is not installed on this system

I will keep working on the implementation.

Thanks,

Instead of  
var result = new StringBuilder(length);  
byte[] data = new byte[length];

var generator = new Crypto.RNGCryptoServiceProvider();

generator.GetBytes(data);  
for (int i = 0; i \< length; i++) {  
result.Append(Convert.ToChar(data[i]));  
}  
return MutableString.Create(result.ToString());

you should create binary mutable string directly from the bytes:

byte[] data = new byte[length];  
var generator = new Crypto.RNGCryptoServiceProvider();  
generator.GetBytes(data);

return MutableString.CreateBinary(data);
