abstract-security 0.82

Env-driven secrets loading and security primitives: .env resolution, password hashing, and JWT token utilities.

abstract_security

Env-driven secrets loading and security primitives: .env resolution, password hashing, token utilities, and a library of type/path/ssh helpers.

abstract_security is the foundation layer of the Abstract Secure Backend stack. Everything else builds on it for locating .env files, reading secrets, hashing passwords, and issuing/validating tokens.

Where this fits

abstract-securefiles   React/TypeScript UI components
abstract_logins        Flask blueprints: auth + secure files
abstract_queries       Domain query managers (users, uploads, ...)
abstract_database      Lazy PostgreSQL connection + helpers
abstract_security  <-- you are here: env loading, hashing, tokens, utilities

Dependencies flow downward; this layer depends only on abstract_utilities and python-dotenv.

---

Install

pip install abstract_security

Requires Python ≥ 3.6.

---

Usage

from abstract_security import get_env_value, get_env_path

# Resolve a value from a .env file, searching sensible default locations
# (cwd, home, and ~/.envy_all) unless an explicit path is given.
db_url = get_env_value("ABSTRACT_DATABASE_URL")
env_file = get_env_path()            # where the .env was found

It also exposes password/token helpers (bcrypt hashing, JWT) and a broad set of utility modules (type_utils, path_utils, ssh_utils, string_utils, compare_utils, …) shared across the stack.

Design notes

• Flexible .env discovery — looks in the current working directory, the home directory, and a dedicated ~/.envy_all directory, or an explicit path.
• One definition per symbol — shared primitives like SingletonMeta are defined once, so behaviour is predictable across the stack.
