  Description     : Generates and verifies HMAC-based authentication tokens
Fernet takes a user-provided *message* (an arbitrary sequence of
bytes), a *key* (256 bits), and the current time, and produces a
*token*, which contains the message in a form that can't be read
or altered without the key.

Why packaging it? I'm packaging Docker and it's a dependency of the Docker engine.
