Fernet guarantees that a message encrypted using it cannot be manipulated or read without the key. All encryption in this version is done with AES 128 in CBC mode.
A fernet key is the base64url encoding of the following fields:
Signing-key || Encryption-key
A fernet token is the base64url encoding of the concatenation of the following fields:
Version || Timestamp || IV || Ciphertext || HMAC
Version || Timestamp || IV || Ciphertext
fernet python example
>>> from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
>>> key = Fernet.generate_key()
>>> key
'Qk_GF82vx2qPBiF91n238Mp5HeAlgYpC90NB9PGEB_0='
>>> f = Fernet(key)
>>> token = f.encrypt(b"Hello 8gwifi.org")
>>> token
'gAAAAABf1ecawfmsxp0S80m5LxV4md9Vf4lO7N-P9jQ08de_oLb5382Aqf7aGEof23E6N0WYPyhJkvhT1dDJJU4tdAFAhqnK-uiOoSu1T5P6XZLPcU90Rn0='
>>> f.decrypt(token)

>>> kdf = PBKDF2HMAC(
... algorithm=hashes.SHA256(),

... salt=salt,
... iterations=100000,

>>> key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(kdf.derive(password))
>>> key

Fernet is ideal for encrypting data that easily fits in memory. As a design feature it does not expose unauthenticated bytes. This means that the complete message contents must be available in memory, making Fernet generally unsuitable for very large files at this time
