A simple package to create CSRF/XSRF tokens and protect against CSRF/XSRF attacks.
pip install simple-xsrf
To use this package you will need a fernet key also known as a secret key. To create a key:
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
key = Fernet.generate_key()Make sure to store this key in a secure place like a database so that you can access it later. You will need it to create your tokens and decrypt them
Creating a token:
from simple_xsrf.token import create_xsrf
token = create_xsrf(key)Checking if a token is valid:
from simple_xsrf.token import is_valid
is_token_valid = is_valid(key, token_from_request, token_from_storage)You should store your token in a storage layer such as Redis or DynamoDB to be retrived later.
