signedvalue

signedvalue is an implementation of signed and timestamped strings compatible with Tornado's create_signed_value, decode_signed_value, and therefore set_secure_cookie and get_secure_cookie.

Install

go get github.com/sashka/signedvalue

Usage

import "github.com/sashka/signedvalue"

// Sign your "Hello, world".
signed := signedvalue.Create("secret", "name", "Hello, world")

// Decode a signed string.
// Treat signed string as invalid if it's more than 1 minute old.
decoded, err := signedvalue.Decode("secret", "name", signed, 60)
if err != nil {
    // Signed string is no longer valid.
}
