Django SECRET_KEY

Question

Quel est exactement le point de SECRET_KEY dans django? J'ai fait quelques recherches sur Google et vérifié la documentation ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#secret-key ), mais je cherchais une explication plus détaillée à ce sujet, et pourquoi c'est nécessaire.

Par exemple, que pourrait-il arriver si la clé était compromise / si les autres savaient de quoi il s'agissait? Je vous remercie.

Il est utilisé pour faire des hashes. Regardez:

 >grep -Inr SECRET_KEY *
conf/global_settings.py:255:SECRET_KEY = ''
conf/project_template/settings.py:61:SECRET_KEY = ''
contrib/auth/tokens.py:54:        hash = sha_constructor(settings.SECRET_KEY + unicode(user.id) +
contrib/comments/forms.py:86:        info = (content_type, object_pk, timestamp, settings.SECRET_KEY)
contrib/formtools/utils.py:15:    order, pickles the result with the SECRET_KEY setting, then takes an md5
contrib/formtools/utils.py:32:    data.append(settings.SECRET_KEY)
contrib/messages/storage/cookie.py:112:        SECRET_KEY, modified to make it unique for the present purpose.
contrib/messages/storage/cookie.py:114:        key = 'django.contrib.messages' + settings.SECRET_KEY
contrib/sessions/backends/base.py:89:        pickled_md5 = md5_constructor(pickled + settings.SECRET_KEY).hexdigest()
contrib/sessions/backends/base.py:95:        if md5_constructor(pickled + settings.SECRET_KEY).hexdigest() != tamper_check:
contrib/sessions/backends/base.py:134:        # Use settings.SECRET_KEY as added salt.
contrib/sessions/backends/base.py:143:                       settings.SECRET_KEY)).hexdigest()
contrib/sessions/models.py:16:        pickled_md5 = md5_constructor(pickled + settings.SECRET_KEY).hexdigest()
contrib/sessions/models.py:59:        if md5_constructor(pickled + settings.SECRET_KEY).hexdigest() != tamper_check:
core/management/commands/startproject.py:32:        # Create a random SECRET_KEY hash, and put it in the main settings.
core/management/commands/startproject.py:37:        settings_contents = re.sub(r"(?<=SECRET_KEY = ')'", secret_key + "'", settings_contents)
middleware/csrf.py:38:                % (randrange(0, _MAX_CSRF_KEY), settings.SECRET_KEY)).hexdigest()
middleware/csrf.py:41:    return md5_constructor(settings.SECRET_KEY + session_id).hexdigest()
