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_.

Cryptography by example

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.

• Cryptography_ (2.0+)
• Django_ (3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0)
