Rolling Token verificator & generator

Rolling Token Authentication

Usage

Initialization

from rolling_token_auth import RollingTokenManager

manager = RollingTokenManager("secret", interval=3600)

The interval defines how long a token is valid in seconds. Shorter = more secure. Both secret and interval must match between generation and verification.

Generation

manager.generate_token()

This generates a token for the current timestamp. Optionally a offset can be declared.

Verification

manager.is_valid(token)

This checks if the given token is valid for the current timestamp. The manager.tolerance parameter defines how many token from the past and future are still valid (default: 1 in each direction).
