In last week’s post, I wrote about how I use the Fernet functions of Python’s cryptography library to encrypt and decrypt my “.env” files for projects. After finishing the post, I realized I should research the security and methodology of the Fernet algorithms since I am using them. In my research, I found this StackOverflow question that had some good answers about the type of encryption Fernet is using. Check it out to learn a little more about what Fernet is using.
Is the Fernet cryptography module safe, and can I do AES encryption with that module?
