I would like to be able to get a password from the user and use a hash of it to encrypt a file on the server. Can I do this with webpy without having to write the password or hash to the disk in the clear?
It looks like when I get input from the user I'm expected to store it in a web.session.Session, which I think has to write its contents to disk (either as a database or diskStore). Which puts the password/hash on the disk, in the clear. Is there a way for me to hold the password only in memory from the time I get it from the user until the user logs out? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
