Secure your Python data structures and secrets with Secured. This package provides a straightforward solution for obscuring sensitive data in applications. It's specifically designed for developers who need to protect API keys, database credentials, and other critical configuration details from accidental exposure. Featuring customizable security measures, our tool allows you to control how sensitive information is represented and managed securely. It's ideal for projects that demand high data confidentiality and integrity. Please note that this provides a thin layer of protection.

Installation

To install Secured, run the following command:

pip install secured

Usage

Below are some examples on how to use Secured to protect your sensitive data:

Example 1: Basic Usage

from secured import Secure

# Protect a sensitive string
DATABASE_URL = "mysql://user:password@localhost/dbname"
secure_database_url = Secure(DATABASE_URL, "<Data Hidden>")

# Usage in code
print(secure_database_url)  # Output: <Data Hidden>

Example 2: Custom Usage

from secured import Secure

# Protect an API key with a custom message
API_KEY = "12345-abcdef-67890-ghijk"
secure_api_key = Secure(API_KEY, "API Key Protected")

# Usage in code
print(secure_api_key)  # Output: API Key Protected

Example 3: Config Usage

The Secured class allows you to securely read configuration files containing sensitive data. Here's how you can use it:

from secured import Secured

# Create a Secured object to read a YAML configuration file
secured = Secured('config.yaml', secure=True)

# Access configuration attributes securely
print(secured.config.name)  # Using dot notation
print(secured.config["name"])  # Using dictionary-like notation

Example 4: Compose

from secured import Secured

# Define the custom secure message
message = "🔒 <Data Secured> 🔒"

# Example secured object
CONFIG_PATH = "examples/config.yaml"
DATABASE_URL = "mysql://{user}:{password}@localhost/dbname"
secure = Secured(CONFIG_PATH, secure=True, message=message)

# Usage in code
secure_database_url = secure.compose(DATABASE_URL, user="guest", password="guest_password")
print(secure_database_url)  # Output: 🔒 <Data Secured> 🔒
print(secure_database_url.get_original()) # Careful! This will print the original data, do not use it.
print(secure_database_url == "mysql://guest:guest_password@localhost/dbname")  # Output: True
