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.

.. 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.

------------

* Python_ (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)
* Cryptography_ (2.0+)
* Django_ (3.2, 4.1, 4.2)
