Flask RSA Signature Validation

[mwalkowski]

Hey Flask enthusiasts! 👋

I'm excited to share a new Flask extension that I've developed, bringing the power of RSA signatures to your Flask applications. This extension not only allows you to add RSA digital signatures to your server's responses but also provides a seamless mechanism to verify signatures in incoming requests.

Key Features:
✨ RSA Digital Signatures: Enhance the security of your web application by incorporating RSA-based signatures.
🔒 Request Signature Verification: Ensure the integrity and authenticity of incoming requests by verifying RSA signatures.
🚀 Flask Integration: Seamlessly integrate this extension into your Flask applications with just a few lines of code.
🔧 Configurability: Customize the extension to fit your needs with various configuration parameters.

Getting Started:

1. Install the extension:

pip install flask-rsa

2. Import and initialize in your Flask app:

from flask import Flask
from flask_rsa import RSA

app = Flask(__name__)
rsa = RSA(app)

3. Decorate your protected routes:

@app.route('/secure-endpoint', methods=['POST'])
@rsa.signature_required()
def secure_endpoint():
    # Your protected route logic here
    return jsonify({"message": "Request successfully validated and processed"})

4. Customize configuration parameters as needed.

🚀 For a more detailed guide and example code, check out the Flask RSA Signature Validation extension on GitHub.

I developed this extension based on this article
