CipherToken

CipherToken is a next-generation token engine for developers who demand speed, security, and reliability. Unlike conventional JWT libraries, CipherToken delivers a complete token lifecycle — from creation and decoding to rotation and expiry tracking — all backed by the raw performance of Rust.

Why CipherToken?

Conventional JWT Libraries CipherToken
Language Pure Python Rust + PyO3
Performance Interpreted overhead Near-native speed
Async Often limited or absent Fully async (Tokio)
Token lifecycle Generate / verify Create · Decode · Verify · Rotate · Inspect
Key management Manual Built-in HMAC + RSA key generation
Expiry tracking Manual Built-in (remaining_time)

Quick Install

pip install ciphertoken

Quick Example

from ciphertoken import CipherToken
from ciphertoken.algorithms import HS256
from ciphertoken.time import minutes, days
from ciphertoken.jwt import access, refresh, rotation

token = CipherToken(
    secret="your-strong-secret-key",
    algorithm=HS256,
    access_ttl=minutes(10),
    refresh_ttl=days(7),
)

access_token = access(token, payload={"user_id": 42})
refresh_token = refresh(token, payload={"user_id": 42})
new_access, new_refresh = rotation(token, refresh_token)

print(token.verify(access_token))  # True
