<p><strong><a href="http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1004/">Django snippets: Sign a string using SHA1, then shrink it using url-safe base65</a></strong></p> I needed a way to create tamper-proof URLs and cookies by signing them, but didn’t want the overhead of a full 40 character SHA1 hash. After some experimentation, it turns out you can knock a 40 char hash down to 27 characters by encoding it using a custom base65 encoding which only uses URL-safe characters. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/base65">base65</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cookies">cookies</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cryptography">cryptography</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django-snippets">django-snippets</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hashes">hashes</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/security">security</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sha1">sha1</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/signedcookies">signedcookies</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/urls">urls</a></p>
