Django Model Field that supports AES encryption
Project description
Provides an AES field for Django that does AES encryption and decryption using M2Crypto.
Usage
Like any other field:
from aesfield.field import AESField
class SomeModel(...):
key = AESField()
Configuration
AESField takes the following parameters beyond a normal CharField:
aes_prefix: the prefix to use on fields, defaults to aes:
aes_key: the key to use in the lookup method to find a suitable key for this field, defaults to default
Settings:
AES_METHOD: the module to look in for a key lookup method, if you want something different from the default, aesfield.default
AES_KEYS: used by the aesfield.default method. It’s a dictionary of keys to filenames. Those files must be able to be read by the Django process. It must have a default key, unless you specify a specifc one in aes_key
Commands
If you add aesfield to INSTALLED_APPS you’ll get one more command, generate_aes_keys. This will generate a new file for each file mentioned in the AES_KEYS dictionary. But only if that file does not already exist.
