Project description
ssr
Shared-Secret Requests: A simple HTTP authentication library using shared secrets.
Overview
The ssr
library exposes a simple set interfaces that facilitate server-server
authentication using a shared secret. This shared secret or secret_key
is used
to generate a public key, using a client id and timestamp. The combination of the
client id, timestamp and public key form a signature that a host server can use
to verify the identity of the client server.
Scope
The scope of this project is limited to inter-app authentication e.g. to support RESTful data transfer between micro-services. Logistics around managing secrets is noot included in the scope of this project. For tools to manage secrets you can look into:
Installation
pip install ssr
Usage
SSR Client
