<span id="secure-cookie"></span><h1>Secure Cookie<a class="headerlink" href="#module-werkzeug.contrib.securecookie" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>This module implements a cookie that is not alterable from the client
because it adds a checksum the server checks for.  You can use it as
session replacement if all you have is a user id or something to mark
a logged in user.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the data is still readable from the client as a
normal cookie is.  However you don&#8217;t have to store and flush the
sessions you have at the server.</p>
<p>Example usage:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">werkzeug.contrib.securecookie</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">SecureCookie</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">SecureCookie</span><span class="p">({</span><span class="s2">&quot;foo&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">42</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">&quot;baz&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)},</span> <span class="s2">&quot;deadbeef&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Dumping into a string so that one can store it in a cookie:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">serialize</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Loading from that string again:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">SecureCookie</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">unserialize</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">&quot;deadbeef&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s2">&quot;baz&quot;</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="go">(1, 2, 3)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If someone modifies the cookie and the checksum is wrong the unserialize
method will fail silently and return a new empty <cite>SecureCookie</cite> object.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the values will be visible in the cookie so do not
store data in a cookie you don&#8217;t want the user to see.</p>

<h2>Security<a class="headerlink" href="#security" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The default implementation uses Pickle as this is the only module that
used to be available in the standard library when this module was created.
If you have simplejson available it&#8217;s strongly recommended to create a
subclass and replace the serialization method:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">json</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">werkzeug.contrib.securecookie</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">SecureCookie</span>

    <span class="n">serialization_method</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">json</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The weakness of Pickle is that if someone gains access to the secret key
the attacker can not only modify the session but also execute arbitrary
code on the server.</p>
