Token¶

pydantic model phalanx.models.gafaelfawr.Token¶

An opaque token.

Notes

A token consists of two parts, a semi-public key that is used as the Redis key, and a secret that is only present in the token returned to the user and the encrypted session in Redis.

The serialized form of a token always starts with gt-, short for Gafaelfawr token, to make it easier to identify these tokens in logs.

The serialized form encodes the secret in URL-safe base64 with the padding stripped off (because equal signs can be parsed oddly in cookies).

Parameters:: data (Any)
