Secrets Secure Token Generation
Generate cryptographically secure tokens with the secrets module, comparing them in constant time and binding usage scope per token.
Code
import hmac
import secrets
ALPHABET = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'
def api_key(prefix: str = 'sk') -> str:
body = ''.join(secrets.choice(ALPHABET) for _ in range(40))
return f'{prefix}_{body}'
def url_token(nbytes: int = 32) -> str:
return secrets.token_urlsafe(nbytes)
def otp_code(digits: int = 6) -> str:
# 朴素做法 random.randint 可预测,必须用 secrets
floor = 10 ** (digits - 1)
return str(floor + secrets.randbelow(9 * floor))
def constant_time_match(candidate: str, expected: str) -> bool:
if len(candidate) != len(expected):
return False
return hmac.compare_digest(
candidate.encode(), expected.encode()
)
def scoped_token(scope: str, nbytes: int = 16) -> dict:
return {
'token': url_token(nbytes),
'scope': scope,
'hint': f'scope={scope}',
}
key = api_key()
code = otp_code()
print('key length:', len(key), 'otp:', code)
print('compare ok:', constant_time_match(code, code))
print('compare tampered:', constant_time_match(code, '123456'))Report a problem with this exampleOpens a pre-filled issue on GitHub.
