The OpenSSL engine of Digest uses the low-level API of OpenSSL, whose use has been discouraged for years for multiple reasons. A long-standing issue on a FIPS-enabled system is that using ::Digest results in crashing the Ruby process, because the low-level API lacks the mechanism to report an error (the policy violation) and thus kills the process as a last resort[1][2]. Also, the upcoming OpenSSL 3.0 will deprecate it for future removal[3]. Compiling with -Wdeprecated-declarations will start to emit warnings. A proper fix for this is to make it use the EVP API instead. This is a non-trivial work as it requires backwards-incompatible changes to the framework interface of Digest::Base and rb_digest_metadata_t. It is more than 15 years ago that the openssl library became part of the standard library. It has implemented the exactly same functionality as OpenSSL::Digest, in fact, as a subclass of Digest::Class. There is not much point in having an identical code in the digest library. Let's just get rid of OpenSSL within digest. This leaves the C implementations and the CommonCrypto engine for Apple systems. A patch is being prepared for the openssl library to provide ::Digest constants for better performance[4].
