# WebhookGuard for Python

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/webhookguard.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/webhookguard)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

A secure, modern webhook signature library for Python. `WebhookGuard` uses asymmetric cryptography (RSA-SHA256 with PSS padding) and replay attack prevention to ensure your webhook endpoints are robust and secure.

The core principle is to sign webhooks with a **private key** and verify them with a **public key**, eliminating the need to share secrets.

### Features

-   **Asymmetric Signatures:** Secure RSA key pair authentication.
-   **Modern Cryptography:** Implements the recommended RSA-PSS padding scheme.
-   **Replay Attack Prevention:** Built-in support for timestamp and nonce checking.
-   **Developer-Friendly:** Raises detailed, specific exceptions for easy debugging.

### Getting Started

1.  **Installation**
    ```bash
    pip install webhookguard
    ```

2.  **Key Generation**
    ```bash
    # Generate a 2048-bit private key
    openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048

    # Extract the public key from the private key
    openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pem
    ```
