Introduction

Django-fields is an application which includes different kinds of models fields.

Right now, the application contains these fields with encryption support:

  • EncryptedCharField
  • EncryptedDateField
  • EncryptedDateTimeField
  • EncryptedEmailField
  • EncryptedFileField
  • EncryptedFloatField
  • EncryptedIntField
  • EncryptedLongField
  • EncryptedTextField
  • EncryptedUSPhoneNumberField

They are each used in a similar fashion to their native, non-encrypted counterparts.

One thing to remember is .filter(), .order_by(), etc... methods on a queryset will not work due to the text being encrypted in the database. Any filtering, sorting, etc... on encrypted fields will need to be done in memory.

Requirements

This application depends on python-crypto, which can be found in many Linux repositories, or downloaded from http://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/.

Under Ubuntu, just do:

sudo apt-get install python-crypto

Examples

Examples can be found at the examples directory. Look at tests.py.

Also check out the doc strings for various special use cases (especially EncryptedFileField).
