### Create Time-Based Signatures in Python

Source: https://context7.com/pallets/itsdangerous/llms.txt

Shows how to use TimestampSigner for creating and verifying expiring signatures. Depends on ItsDangerous and time modules; takes data to sign and optional max_age, returns signed data or errors. Useful for temporary validations but requires careful handling of expiration times.

```python
from itsdangerous import TimestampSigner, SignatureExpired, BadSignature
import time

# Create timestamp signer
signer = TimestampSigner('secret-key')

# Sign with timestamp
signed = signer.sign('my data')
print(signed)  # b'my data.XyZ123.AbC456'

# Unsign with max_age (in seconds)
try:
    data = signer.unsign(signed, max_age=3600)  # Valid for 1 hour
    print(data)  # b'my data'
except SignatureExpired as e:
    print(f'Signature expired')
    print(f'Signed at: {e.date_signed}')
    print(f'Payload: {e.payload}')
except BadSignature:
    print('Invalid signature')

# Get timestamp when unsigning
data, timestamp = signer.unsign(signed, return_timestamp=True)
print(f'Data: {data}')  # b'my data'
print(f'Signed at: {timestamp}')  # 2025-01-15 10:30:45.123456+00:00

# Test expiration
time.sleep(2)
try:
    signer.unsign(signed, max_age=1)  # Expires after 1 second
except SignatureExpired:
    print('Signature is too old')
```

### Itsdangerous Serializer Class Definition (Python)

Source: https://github.com/pallets/itsdangerous/blob/main/docs/serializer.md

Defines the Serializer class, its constructor parameters, and their types. This class is used for creating serializer instances with custom configurations for secret keys, salts, serializers, and signers.

```python
class itsdangerous.serializer.Serializer(
    secret_key: str | bytes | Iterable[str] | Iterable[bytes],
    salt: str | bytes | None = b'itsdangerous',
    serializer: _PDataSerializer[bytes],
    serializer_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    signer: type[Signer] | None = None,
    signer_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    fallback_signers: list[dict[str, Any] | tuple[type[Signer], dict[str, Any]]] | type[Signer] | None = None
)
```

### Handling Signature Failures by Inspecting Payload (Python)

Source: https://github.com/pallets/itsdangerous/blob/main/docs/serializer.md

This demonstrates safe inspection of payloads when signature verification fails using try-except blocks. It requires itsdangerous.exc for exception handling and URLSafeSerializer subclass. Purpose is debugging tampered data; limitations include explicit unsafe decoding only when needed to avoid security risks.

```python
from itsdangerous.serializer import Serializer
from itsdangerous.exc import BadSignature, BadData

s = URLSafeSerializer("secret-key")
decoded_payload = None

try:
    decoded_payload = s.loads(data)
    # This payload is decoded and safe
except BadSignature as e:
    if e.payload is not None:
        try:
            decoded_payload = s.load_payload(e.payload)
        except BadData:
            pass
        # This payload is decoded but unsafe because someone
        # tampered with the signature. The decode (load_payload)
        # step is explicit because it might be unsafe to unserialize
        # the payload (think pickle instead of json!)
```

### Apply URL-Safe Timed Serialization in Python

Source: https://context7.com/pallets/itsdangerous/llms.txt

Combines URL safety, compression, and expiration with URLSafeTimedSerializer. Depends on ItsDangerous; ideal for verification links and API tokens. Handles email verification or authentication with time limits, but ensure secure secret keys.

```python
from itsdangerous import URLSafeTimedSerializer, SignatureExpired

# Create URL-safe timed serializer
s = URLSafeTimedSerializer('secret-key')

# Perfect for email verification links
def generate_verification_token(email):
    s = URLSafeTimedSerializer('secret-key', salt='email-verify')
    return s.dumps({'email': email})

def verify_email_token(token):
    s = URLSafeTimedSerializer('secret-key', salt='email-verify')
    try:
        # Valid for 24 hours
        data = s.loads(token, max_age=86400)
        return data['email']
    except SignatureExpired:
        return None

# Generate token
token = generate_verification_token('user@example.com')
verification_url = f'https://example.com/verify?token={token}'
print(verification_url)

# Verify token
email = verify_email_token(token)
if email:
    print(f'Verified email: {email}')
else:
    print('Token expired or invalid')

# API authentication tokens
api_token = s.dumps({
    'api_key': 'abc123',
    'user_id': 42,
    'scope': ['read', 'write']
})

# Verify API token (valid for 1 hour)
try:
    auth_data = s.loads(api_token, max_age=3600)
    print(f"Authenticated user: {auth_data['user_id']}")
except SignatureExpired:
    print('API token expired')
```

--------------------------------

### Unsafe Loading for Signature Validation (Python)

Source: https://github.com/pallets/itsdangerous/blob/main/docs/serializer.md

The loads_unsafe method checks signatures without full deserialization, returning a boolean and payload tuple. It depends on the instantiated Serializer and is useful for quick validation. Inputs are signed data; outputs indicate signature validity without raising exceptions.

```python
sig_okay, payload = s.loads_unsafe(data)
```

--------------------------------

### Utilize Timed JSON Serialization in Python

Source: https://context7.com/pallets/itsdangerous/llms.txt

Combines JSON serialization with expiring signatures using TimedSerializer. Requires ItsDangerous and time; serializes objects with timestamps, deserializes with age checks. Ideal for secure tokens like password resets, but watch for clock synchronization issues.

```python
from itsdangerous import TimedSerializer, SignatureExpired
import time

# Create timed serializer
s = TimedSerializer('secret-key')

# Serialize with timestamp
token = s.dumps({'user_id': 42, 'action': 'password-reset'})
print(token)  # '{"user_id":42,"action":"password-reset"}.XyZ...'

# Deserialize with age validation
try:
    # Token valid for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
    data = s.loads(token, max_age=300)
    print(data)  # {'user_id': 42, 'action': 'password-reset'}
except SignatureExpired as e:
    print(f'Token expired at {e.date_signed}')
    print(f'Data was: {e.payload}')

# Get timestamp when loading
data, timestamp = s.loads(token, return_timestamp=True, max_age=300)
print(f'Token created at: {timestamp}')

# Use case: password reset tokens
def generate_reset_token(user_id):
    s = TimedSerializer('secret-key', salt='password-reset')
    return s.dumps({'user_id': user_id})

def verify_reset_token(token, max_age=3600):
    s = TimedSerializer('secret-key', salt='password-reset')
    try:
        data = s.loads(token, max_age=max_age)
        return data['user_id']
    except SignatureExpired:
        return None
```

### Key Rotation Using List of Secret Keys in Serializer

Source: https://github.com/pallets/itsdangerous/blob/main/docs/concepts.md

Manages multiple secret keys for signing and validation, enabling periodic rotation to enhance security. Purpose: invalidate compromised keys without disrupting active tokens. Dependencies: itsdangerous.serializer module. Inputs: ordered list of keys (oldest to newest), data. Outputs: signed data validatable against any key. Limitations: Oldest keys are deprecated over time; unrefreshed tokens expire.

```python
from itsdangerous.serializer import Serializer

SECRET_KEYS = ["2b9cd98e", "169d7886", "b6af09f5"]

# sign some data with the latest key
s = Serializer(SECRET_KEYS)
t = s.dumps({"id": 42})

# rotate a new key in and the oldest key out
SECRET_KEYS.append("cf9b3588")
del SECRET_KEYS[0]

s = Serializer(SECRET_KEYS)
s.loads(t)  # valid even though it was signed with a previous key
```

--------------------------------

### Unsign and validate timestamped value in Python

Source: https://github.com/pallets/itsdangerous/blob/main/docs/timed.md

Shows how to unsign a timestamped value and check if it's expired using max_age. Raises SignatureExpired if the signature is too old.

```python
s.unsign(string, max_age=5)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
itsdangerous.exc.SignatureExpired: Signature age 15 > 5 seconds
```
