pip install krptn
We all love Django and other web frameworks! However, their primary focus is creating websites - not implementing secure storage for user data. Django makes it easy to store data. While it hashes the password, it does not encrypt user data for you. In case of a data breach, malicious actors could access any data from the DB. Encryption is left to the developer...
Wouldn't it be nice if encryption would also be handled? Perhaps it could be handled in a way that keys are derived from credentials, such that, without the user entering credentials, not even the database administrator can read it?! This is exactly what we do!
We also handle user authentication, including MFA, and passwordless authentication.
Krptn also runs in the same server instance as your web app. So you don't have to host anything new. Just install the extension for Python.
To prove that such is possible, we have a Flask and Django example on GitHub.
We are building a user authentication and access management system (IAM) with data encryption at rest derived from credentials. It is available as a python extension module. However we have certain limitations.
How we achieve this?
This gives you security from encryption without ever needing to even notice it! It protects you from server side attacks.
Here is an example usage:
from krypton.auth.users import userModel
model = userModel.standardUser(None)
model.saveNewUser("Test_UserName", "Test_Password")
model.data.email = "test@example.com" # The email will be encrypted, and securely stored
Quickly install the package with pip for Python>3.9:
pip install krptn
