When you define an encrypted field, data is automatically encrypted before storage and decrypted on retrieval, with the encryption key managed via Django settings.\n\nThe package supports key rotation through SALT_KEY, which can be a list where the first key encrypts new data and all keys are tried for decryption. It also supports SECRET_KEY rotation via SECRET_KEY_FALLBACKS for Django >=4.1. The encrypted fields maintain the same APIs as their unencrypted Django counterparts.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and solves a real problem for encrypting sensitive Django model fields. However, verify the license status before use\u2014the metadata shows no SPDX or raw license text. Requires Python >=3.10 and Django 4.2+, so confirm compatibility with your project's versions."},"id":"django-fernet-encrypted-fields","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-fernet-encrypted-fields","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-fernet-encrypted-fields.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-fernet-encrypted-fields/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"django-fernet-encrypted-fields","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Symmetrically encrypted model fields for Django"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":359135,"position":7253,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
