Should I add files that are part of the Ruby Stand

Question

I need to do require 'openssl' in my code. Otherwise, I get NameError: uninitialized constant Object::OpenSSL. But, when I do gem list, I don't see openssl. I'm deploying a Sinatra app to Heroku stack bamboo-mri-1.9.2. Should I add openssl to the Gemfile? I don't think so because I think openssl is part of the Ruby Standard Library. Also, what about base64?
