There's some example server-side code in ruby-ldapserver (on rubyforge), and
probably lots of other things.

I just dug around the openssl source in Ruby. On my Ubuntu system I find:

/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/c_rehash.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/cert2text.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/cert_store_view.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/certstore.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/cipher.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/crlstore.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/echo_cli.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/echo_svr.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/gen_csr.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/smime_read.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/smime_write.rb
/usr/share/doc/libopenssl-ruby1.8/examples/wget.rb

echo_cli.rb and echo_svr.rb are good starting points.

HTH,

Brian.
