This is a Python implementation of Macaroons. PyMacaroons is stable and does not
|
|
change frequently. Please see the GitHub issues for the current roadmap.
|
|
|
|
Macaroons, like cookies, are a form of bearer credential. Unlike opaque tokens,
|
|
macaroons embed caveats that define specific authorization requirements for the
|
|
target service, the service that issued the root macaroon and which is capable
|
|
of verifying the integrity of macaroons it receives.
|
|
|
|
Macaroons allow for delegation and attenuation of authorization. They are simple
|
|
and fast to verify, and decouple authorization policy from the enforcement of
|
|
that policy.
