Securing Your Python Programs

1. Generate a Secure Random Token

This can be useful for creating tokens in authentication systems.

import secrets

token = secrets.token_hex(16)
print("Secure Token:", token)

Secure Token: 02ef1d28975f67a5621df5f61d442a45

2. Generate a Strong Password

You can generate a random, secure password by combining letters, digits, and symbols.

import secrets
import string

def generate_password(length=12):
    characters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
    password = ''.join(secrets.choice(characters) for _ in range(length))
    return password

print("Generated Password:", generate_password())

Generated Password: ^~>G&4}s5cBr

3. Select a Secure Random Element from a List

This is useful when you need to make a secure random choice, such as selecting a winner in a contest.

import secrets

participants = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David"]

winner = secrets.choice(participants)
print("Winner:", winner)
