Django Cryptography 5

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:

pip install django-cryptography-5

The rest of this README is the original README from the official project.

Django Cryptography

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.

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.

Requirements

• Python (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)
• Cryptography (2.0+)
• Django (3.2, 4.1, 4.2)

Installation

pip install django-cryptography
