Exception raised when signature verification fails.

fleche.security.get_secret_key() list[bytes][source]

Retrieve the secret key(s) for signing cache entries.

Only supports FLECHE_SECRET_KEY environment variable. If multiple keys are present, they should be colon-separated. If no key is found, returns an empty list (security is disabled).

Returns:

A list of secret keys as bytes.

Return type:

list[bytes]

class fleche.security.SignedBytes[source]

Helper class to sign and verify serialized data using HMAC-SHA256. Allows for key rotation by accepting a list of keys.

Parameters:

keys (list[bytes]) – A list of secret keys. The first key is used for signing, and all keys are attempted during verification.

keys: list[bytes][source]
_sign(data: bytes, key: bytes) bytes[source]

Generate HMAC-SHA256 hex signature for data using the specified key. Hex encoding ensures the signature string (0-9a-f) never contains the pickle STOP opcode byte (ASCII 46, .).

Parameters:
  • data (bytes) – The data to sign.

  • key (bytes) – The secret key to use for signing.

Returns:

The resulting 64-byte hex-encoded HMAC signature.

Return type:

bytes

dumps(content: bytes) bytes[source]

Signs the content using the first key in the list and appends the hex signature. If no keys are provided, returns the content unmodified.

Parameters:

content (bytes) – The serialized data to sign.

Returns:

The original data with the 64-byte hex signature appended (if keys exist).

Return type:

bytes

loads(content: bytes) bytes[source]

Verifies the signature of the content. Extracts the signature by searching for the pickle STOP opcode. Iterates through all provided keys for verification. Returns the original content if verification passes.

Parameters:

content (bytes) – The payload containing the data and the appended signature.

Returns:

The original serialized data, stripped of the signature.

Return type:

bytes

Raises:

SignatureError – If verification fails, if the data is corrupted, or if the STOP opcode is missing.
