Signed snowflake ID's

Flakely

Allows for the generation and validation of SHA256 signed snowflakes.

Installation

pip install flakely

Usage

The flakely.Flakely class handles generation and validation of the signed snowflakes. It accepts the following arguemnts:

• device: int a device ID that is encoded into each snowflake
• process: int a process ID that is encoded into each snowflake
• secret: str | bytes used to generate unpredictable signature hashes

Flakely.generate() -> int

Generates a new signed snowflake and returns it as an int.

Flakely.generate_bytes() -> bytes

Generates a new signed snowflake and returns it as a bytes object.

Flakely.validate(snowflake: int | bytes) -> bool

Checks that a snowflake's signature is valid for the payload.

Flakely.get_signature(flake: bytes) -> bytes

Generates a signature for the snowflake payload as SHA256 digest.

Flakely.get_tick() -> int

Returns an integer to use as the timestamp.
