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 a Redis Session Store in Python
An in-memory RedisSessionStore class with TTL-based expiry, get/set/delete/exists methods, and JSON field support—perfect for testing and prototyping without a live Redis.
import time
import json
from collections import defaultdict
class RedisSessionStore:
"""In-memory mock of a Redis-backed session store."""
def __init__(self, ttl=3600):
self._data = defaultdict(dict)
self._expires = {}
self._ttl = ttl
def set(self, session_id, field, value):
