Live Open Source Auth Python

b3dmar-auth-core

Shared authentication library for FastAPI services

Open-source, stateless authentication primitives for FastAPI microservices: JWT handling, Argon2id password hashing, RBAC, and Redis-backed token revocation.

What is b3dmar-auth-core?

A shared authentication library extracted from our production services. Rather than duplicating JWT validation, password hashing, and RBAC logic across 3ngram, Climbr, and future products, we extracted the common patterns into a single, tested library.

Design principles

Stateless and composable. Each module (JWT, password, RBAC, revocation) works independently. Use all of them or just the parts you need.

Domain-agnostic. The library has no opinion on your user model, database, or tenancy scheme. You bring your own user lookup and permission matrix — b3dmar-auth-core handles the auth mechanics.

Production-tested. Every primitive runs in production across multiple services before being extracted here.

Modules

  • jwt — Token creation and validation with type discrimination (access/refresh), JTI tracking, issuer/audience support
  • password — Argon2id hashing following OWASP recommendations
  • rbac — Generic permission checker with FastAPI dependency factories
  • revocation — Redis-backed token denylist with configurable fail-open/fail-closed modes
  • rate_limit — Pre-configured slowapi limiter for auth endpoints
  • schemas — Pydantic v2 token payload and response models
