---
Secweb is the pack of middlewares for setting security headers for fastapi and can also be used for any framework created on starlette it has 16 middlewares for setting headers of your website and also for your api(s).

## **Features**

- 🔒 **Secure Headers**: Automatically apply headers like `Strict-Transport-Security`, `Content-Security-Policy`, and more.

- 🛠️ **Customizable Policies**: Flexibly build your own security policies.

- 🚀 **No External Dependencies**: Lightweight and easy to include in any project that uses **FastAPI** and **Starlette**.

- 🧩 **Easy to Use**: Integrate security headers in just a few lines of code.

- 📚 **Attribution to Trusted Sources**: Implements recommendations from MDN and OWASP.


**The PermissionsPolicy middleware lies in development branch [here](https://github.com/tmotagam/Secweb/tree/Secweb-Beta#readme)**

The list of middleware is as follows:

1. Content Security Policy (CSP)
<br>

2. Origin Agent Cluster
<br>

3. Referrer Policy
<br>

4. HTTP Strict Transport Security(HSTS)
<br>

5. HTTP Strict Transport Security(HSTS) for WebSockets
<br>

6. X-Content-Type-Options
<br>

7. X-DNS-Prefetch-Control
<br>

8. X-Download-Options
<br>

9. X-Frame
<br>

10. X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies
<br>

11. X-XSS-Protection
<br>

12. Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
<br>

13. Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
<br>

14. Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
<br>

15. Clear-Site-Data
<br>

16. Cache-Control

# Requirements

* [Python >= 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
* [Starlette](https://pypi.org/project/starlette/)

# Installation

```powershell
pip install Secweb
```

# Usage

The package Secweb can be used in two different ways:

1. Use the SecWeb class - it includes all the 16 classes together
<br>

2. Use the 16 middleware classes separately

## SecWeb class

```Python
from Secweb import SecWeb

SecWeb(app=app) # The app is the ASGIapp required by the starlette to give access to the different methods to the class
```

The above example uses all the default headers value that are preset. You can change the values by creating the option dict.

You can also set flags for nonce generation for csp header using the `script_nonce=True` and `style_nonce=True` flags. The `report_only` flag is added for csp report only header. For Clear-Site-Data header `Routes=[]` array is used for applying the header, it is empty by default.

```Python
from Secweb import SecWeb

SecWeb(app=app, Option={'referrer': ['no-referrer']}, Routes=[], script_nonce=False, style_nonce=False, report_only=False)
```

The `Option`-parameter uses 16 keys for calling middleware classes to set the user-defined policies or activating or deactivating headers.

**Note: Activating/Deactivating the header can only be done in SecWeb class in Option param**

```Python
from Secweb import SecWeb

Secweb(app=app, Option={'referrer': False, 'xframe': False})
```

The values are as follows:

1. `'csp'` for calling ContentSecurityPolicy class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

2. `'referrer'` for calling ReferrerPolicy class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

3. `'xdns'` for calling XDNSPrefetchControl class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

4. `'xcdp'` for calling XPermittedCrossDomainPolicies class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

5. `'hsts'` for calling HSTS class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

6. `'wshsts'` for calling WsHSTS class to set the user-defined values for Websockets or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

7. `'xframe'` for calling XFrame class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

8. `'coep'` for calling CrossOriginEmbedderPolicy class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

9. `'coop'` for calling CrossOriginOpenerPolicy class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

10. `'corp'` for calling CrossOriginResourcePolicy class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

11. `'clearSiteData'` for calling ClearSiteData class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

12. `'cacheControl'` for calling CacheControl class to set the user-defined values or activate/deactivate the header
<br>

13. `'xcto'` for activating/deactivating X-Content-Type-Options header
<br>

14. `'xdo'` for activating/deactivating X-Download-Options header
<br>

15. `'xss'` for activating/deactivating x-xss-protection header
<br>

16. `'oac'` for activating/deactivating Origin-Agent-Cluster header

```python
# Example of all values

SecWeb(app=app, Option={'csp': {'default-src': ["'self'"]}, 'xframe':'SAMEORIGIN', 'hsts': {'max-age': 4, 'preload': True}, 'wshsts': {'max-age': 10, 'preload': True},'xcdp': 'all', 'xdns': 'on', 'referrer': ['no-referrer'], 'coep':'require-corp', 'coop':'same-origin-allow-popups', 'corp': 'same-site', 'clearSiteData': {'cache': True, 'storage': True}, 'cacheControl': {'public': True, 's-maxage': 600}, 'xss': False}, Routes=['/login/{id}', '/logout/{id:uuid}/username/{username:string}'])
```

## Middleware Classes

### Content Security Policy (CSP)

#### Nonce Processor

The Nonce_Processor module generates nonce for csp header

```python
# Some Code

nonce = Nonce_Processor(DEFAULT_ENTROPY=90) # inject the nonce variable into the jinja or html

# Some Code
```

`DEFAULT_ENTROPY` is used to set the nonce length.

The nonce processor needs to be called on the route the following example is of FastApi calling the nonce processor on the route

```python

from fastapi import FastAPI
from Secweb.ContentSecurityPolicy import Nonce_Processor

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/")

async  def  root():

# some code

nonce = Nonce_Processor(DEFAULT_ENTROPY=90) # inject the nonce variable into the jinja or html

# some more code
```
ContentSecurityPolicy class sets the csp header.

#### For FastApi server

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from Secweb.ContentSecurityPolicy import ContentSecurityPolicy

app = FastAPI()  

app.add_middleware(ContentSecurityPolicy, Option={'default-src': ["'self'"], 'base-uri': ["'self'"], 'block-all-mixed-content': []}, script_nonce=False, style_nonce=False, report_only=False)
```

#### For Starlette server

```python
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from Secweb.ContentSecurityPolicy import ContentSecurityPolicy


app = Starlette()

app.add_middleware(ContentSecurityPolicy, Option={'default-src': ["'self'"], 'base-uri': ["'self'"], 'block-all-mixed-content': []}, script_nonce=False, style_nonce=False, report_only=False)
```

* `script_nonce=False`: nonce flag for inline Javascript
* `style_nonce=False`: nonce flag for inline css
* `report_only=False`: report only flag which makes csp report only header
