**BSV-Middleware Added to PyPI: A Game-Changer for Django Developers**

Exciting news has just hit the Python community with the release of bsv-middleware on PyPI! This innovative middleware library is designed specifically for Django developers, providing a seamless way to integrate blockchain authentication and payment processing into their applications.

What is BSV-Middleware?

bsv-middleware is a Django middleware that implements the BRC-103 Peer-to-Peer Mutual Authentication via BRC-104 HTTP Transport specification. This means it enables mutual authentication and certificate exchange between clients and servers in a standardized way, making it easier to secure your applications.

The library abstracts the complexities of these specs behind a typical Django middleware, allowing you to focus on writing normal Django code for your views while still benefiting from robust security features.

Key Features

  • Mutual Authentication: Authenticate both the server and the client cryptographically, preventing impersonation or MITM attacks.
  • Certificate Handling: Request, receive, and verify BRC-103 identity certificates, including utility methods to request additional certificates from the client.
  • Selective Disclosure: Support for revealing only certain fields in a certificate, helping to preserve privacy while verifying necessary information.
  • Extendable: Provide a custom SessionManager or plug in advanced logic for verifying user attributes.

Seamless Integration with Django

The minimal setup to enable BRC-103 mutual authentication in your Django server is straightforward:

import bsv_middleware
# In settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
    'bsv_middleware.middleware.BSVMiddleware',
]
# Configure the middleware via Django settings
BSV_MIDDLEWARE_CREDENTIALS = {
    # Your credentials go here
}

Or, use the factory function for programmatic setup:

import bsv_middleware
middleware = bsv_middleware.factory(
    credentials={
        # Your credentials go here
    },
)
