How to Mock KMS Envelope Encryption in Python
Demonstrates a minimal mock of AWS KMS envelope encryption flow with AES-GCM data key wrapping and unwrapping.
import base64
import json
import os
import hashlib
class MockKMS:
"""Minimal mock of AWS KMS envelope encryption flow."""
def generate_data_key(self):
# Simulate KMS returning a plaintext and encrypted data key
plaintext_key = os.urandom(32)
encrypted_key = hashlib.sha256(plaintext_k…How to mock Argon2 password hashing in Python
This code demonstrates a mock Argon2 password hasher using HMAC-SHA256 iterations, providing hash and verify methods that mimic Argon2's salted, iterated derivation.
import hashlib
import hmac
import os
class Argon2Mock:
def __init__(self, salt_size=16, hash_len=32):
self.salt_size = salt_size
self.hash_len = hash_len
def hash(self, password: str, salt: bytes = None) -> str:
if salt is None:
salt = os.urandom(self.salt_size)
…How to mock DNS CAA record lookups in Python
Parse and filter DNS CAA records with a mock lookup function, demonstrating how certificate authorities validate domain authorization.
import dnslib
def parse_caa_record(record_string):
"""Parse a DNS CAA record string into its components."""
parts = record_string.split()
flags = int(parts[0])
tag = parts[1]
value = parts[2]
return flags, tag, value
