A set of primitives for easily encrypting data in Django, wrapping the Python Cryptography library. Also provided is a drop in replacement for Django's own cryptographic primitives, using Cryptography as the backend provider.
Do not forget to read the documentation.
Using symmetrical encryption to store sensitive data in the database.
Wrap the desired model field with encrypt to easily
protect its contents.
from django.db import models
from django_cryptography.fields import encrypt
class MyModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
sensitive_data = encrypt(models.CharField(max_length=50))The data will now be automatically encrypted when saved to the
database. encrypt uses an encryption that allows for
bi-directional data retrieval.
