Simple Secret Primitive for Python

sosecrets-core

Version: 1.0.16

This Repo is a Cython implementation of a Secret class that allows you to hide a value or function behind a layer of security.

The idea is that you can expose the secret value only a limited number of times, and only through a function call that checks the current exposure count against a maximum exposure count.

The Secret class has four attributes:

• inner_secret: a private attribute that stores the actual secret value or function.
• expose_count: a readonly attribute that keeps track of how many times the secret has been exposed.
• max_expose_count: a public (read and write) attribute that sets the maximum number of times the secret can be exposed. If set to any negative integers, there is no limit to the number of exposures.
• apply: a public method that applies a given function to the exposed secret and returns a new Secret object with the result.

API

Secret

A class representing a secret value with controlled exposure.

__init__(self, value: Optional[Any] = ..., *, func: Optional[Any] = ..., func_args: Tuple[Any, ...] = ..., func_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = ..., max_expose_count: int = ...) -> Secret

Initialize a Secret object.

Notes:

1. Secret is not thread-safe, because expose_count is not atomically-mutated.

• value: The initial value of the Secret object. If provided, it takes precedence over func.
• func: A function used to generate the initial value of the Secret object. Ignored if value is provided.
• func_args: Positional arguments to pass to the func function.
• func_kwargs: Keyword arguments to pass to the func function.
• max_expose_count: The maximum number of times the Secret object can be exposed. Initialized to -1 for unlimited.

Raises:

• ValueError: If both value and func arguments are provided.

Secret.expose_secret()

Exposes the secret value.

expose_secret(self) -> object

Returns:

The inner secret value.

Raises:

• AttributeError: If the Secret object has reached the maximum exposure count.

Secret.apply(...)

Apply a function to the inner secret value and return a new Secret object.

apply(self, func: Callable[[Any, ...], Any], *, func_args: Tuple[Any, ...] = ..., func_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = ...) -> Secret

• func: The function to apply to the inner secret value.
• func_args: Positional arguments to pass to the func function.
• func_kwargs: Keyword arguments to pass to the func function.

Returns:

A new Secret object with the result of applying the function to the inner secret value.
