quart-enciphers
Encrypted session interface for Quart using enciphers.
Replaces Quart's default signed cookie session with a fully encrypted one.
Version 2.0 note: updated to match
enciphers2.0's AEAD rewrite.ENCIPHERS_STEPno longer exists — see CHANGELOG.md for exactly what changed and why.
Installation
pip install quart-enciphers
Usage
from quart import Quart, session
from quart_enciphers import EnciphersSession
app = Quart(__name__)
EnciphersSession(app)
@app.route("/login")
async def login():
session["user_id"] = 1
return "logged in"
Application Factory Pattern
from quart_enciphers import EnciphersSession
es = EnciphersSession()
def create_app():
app = Quart(__name__)
es.init_app(app)
return app
Configuration
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ENCIPHERS_BACKEND |
str |
"AES256_GCM" |
"AES256_GCM" or "XCHACHA20_POLY1305" |
ENCIPHERS_KEY |
int |
random | Secret key, a 128-bit value |
ENCIPHERS_KEY_ENV |
str |
None | Environment variable for key |
If no
ENCIPHERS_KEY/ENCIPHERS_KEY_ENVis provided, a random key is generated at startup — fine for local development, but every process in a real deployment needs to share the same key, or sessions won't be portable between them.
Session expiry
If session.permanent is set (giving the cookie a real Max-Age), the
same expiry is also bound inside the encrypted token itself — a copy of
the cookie can't be replayed past that point even if a client ignores
the cookie's own expiration. A non-permanent session cookie (the
default) carries no expires_at either, unchanged from before.
