sanic-beskar

Strong, Simple, and Precise security for Sanic APIs

This project’s begining was fully lifted from the awesome Flask-Praetorian.

Why beskar? Why not – what is better than star wars (provided you ignore the fact ~the mandolorian~ was almost as lame as ~book of boba fett~)? Superior armour should be used if you want superior protection.

This package aims to provide that. Using token implemented by either PySETO or PyJWT, sanic-beskar uses a very simple interface to make sure that the users accessing your API’s endpoints are provisioned with the correct roles for access.

The goal of this project is to offer simplistic protection, without forcing nonsense, excessivly complicatated implimentation, or mandated/opinionated ORM usage. Providing this usability for small scaled Sanic applications, while allowing the flexibility and scalability for enterprise grade solutions, seperates this from your other options.

The sanic-beskar package can be used to:

  • Hash passwords for storing in your database

  • Verify plaintext passwords against the hashed, stored versions

  • Generate authorization tokens upon verification of passwords

  • Check requests to secured endpoints for authorized tokens

  • Supply expiration of tokens and mechanisms for refreshing them

  • Ensure that the users associated with tokens have necessary roles for access

  • Parse user information from request headers for use in client route handlers

  • Support inclusion of custom user claims in tokens

  • Register new users using email verification

  • Support OTP authentication as a dual factor

  • Provide RBAC based protection of endpoints and resources

All of this is provided in a very simple to configure and initialize flask extension. Though simple, the security provided by sanic-beskar is strong due to the usage of the proven security technology of PASETO or JWT, along with python’s PassLib package.

Super-quick Start

  • requirements: python versions 3.7+

  • install through pip: $ pip install sanic-beskar

  • minimal usage example: example/basic.py
