Fernet Tokenization

Server managed , in YOUR database

I really dont like JWT, since I believe it has some major security problems, so since i needed a tokenization method, i made my own

• Using Fernet encryption
• Stored locally
• Nearly impossible to hand craft
• In python
• Leveraging MariaDB for speedy insertions/search

Libraries Used

• Fernet - cryptography.fernet
• Datetime - datetime
• MariaDB Connector - mariadb
• Relative Delta - dateutil.relativedelta
• PathLib - pathlib

Usage

To generate your fernet key you can use this

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

key = Fernet.generate_key()

f = Fernet(key)

print(key)

The generation was found here

Save the key in a file called filekey.key in the same directory as the Fetok.py file and your script

Import the Fertok.py as a library

import Fertok

and use the functions of the module in your python script just like any other library
