This crate implements Django's cryptographic signing of strings and objects for Rust.
```rust use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use django_signing;
const SECRET: &[u8] = b"my-secret-key"; const SALT: &[u8] = b"demo-salt";
struct Book { title: String, author: String, year: u16, }
let book = Book { title: String::from("The Lord of the Rings"), author: String::from("J. R. R. Tolkien"), year: 1954, };
let signed = django_signing::dumps(book, SECRET, SALT, true);
println!("Signed value: {}", signed); // This prints something like: // Signed value: eyJ0aXRsZSI6IlRoZSBMb3JkIG9mIHRoZSBSaW5ncyIsImF1dGhvciI6IkouIFIuIFIuIFRvbGtpZW4iLCJ5ZWFyIjoxOTU0fQ:1n5aMt:Q7rI7rBXrLmMFsxLPnkiLl1GCr_ygqsM0nHBkazgvYc
let unsigned: Book = djangosigning::loads( signed, SECRET, SALT, // Signature expires after 60 seconds djangosigning::Duration::new(60, 0) ).unwrap();
println!("Unsigned value: {:?}", unsigned); // This prints: // Unsigned value: Book { title: "The Lord of the Rings", author: "J. R. R. Tolkien", year: 1954 } ```
There's also access to the BaseSigner and TimestampSigner structs which
relate to Django's
Signer
and
TimestampSigner
classes, respectively.
The library only supports SHA-256, since SHA-1 is typically a bad idea these days!
