simple_keystore 0.5.0

"A simple encrypted key storage, now with a simple throttler (using Redis)"

simple_keystore

This is a simple key storage solution for development or on-prem use. Use secrets/other builtin more-secure provider methods for production.

Uses an SQLite database to store/retrieve encrypted keys with metadata including expiration dates.

Uses Redis to throttle key usage.

There is a Dockerfile included, and .devcontainer for use with VSCode.

Requirements

If you are going to use the throttler (SKSRateThrottler), you will need Redis. This is not necessary if just using SimpleKeystore.

sudo apt-get install -y redis-server
sudo service redis-server start 

Installation

pip install simple_keystore

Usage

You can set the encryption key either via environment variable or as an entry in your .netrc where the password is the key and machine is SIMPLE_KEYSTORE_KEY

export SIMPLE_KEYSTORE_KEY = "myencryptionkeyphrase"

Create an SQLite DB to store keys in python:

ks = SimpleKeyStore(KEYSTORE_FILE_NAME)

# See tests/test_simple_keystore.py for adding keys, etc.

Add/Remove keys manually / intractively in bash with:

manage_simple_keys <KEYSTORE_FILE_NAME>
