# rfernet
Python extension for Fernet encryption/decryption, faster than other alternatives.
This library uses the rust library `fernet-rs` https://github.com/mozilla-services/fernet-rs.

CI & Building wheels copied from `cryptography` and `orjson`

# Benchmark
Compared to cryptography's Fernet (CPU):
```
In [2]: from cryptography.fernet import Fernet as cFernet

In [3]: from rfernet import Fernet as rFernet

In [4]:

In [4]: plain = b"asd" * 1000

In [5]: key = rFernet.generate_new_key()

In [7]: r_fernet = rFernet(key)

In [8]: c_fernet = cFernet(key)

In [9]: %timeit r_fernet.encrypt(plain)
18.4 µs ± 117 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

In [10]: %timeit c_fernet.encrypt(plain)
77.7 µs ± 921 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
