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.
