Note: This is a fork of the official django-cryptography
_ project,
which appears to be abandoned.
The only change made in this fork that the patch that fixes Django 5 compatibility_
has been applied and pushed to pypi as a new project.
You can install the forked version from pypi with the following command:
.. code-block:: console
pip install django-cryptography-5
The rest of this README is the original README from the official project.
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.
.. code-block:: python
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.
.. code-block:: console
pip install django-cryptography
