It lets you mark sensitive fields for automatic encryption at rest in the database, so plaintext never touches disk. The package wraps Django's BinaryField and handles encryption and decryption transparently on read and write.\n\nIt is a fork updated to support Django 4. The package is tested against PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL, though any Django backend supporting BinaryField should work. It requires Django >=3.2 and Python >=3.8, but has not been maintained since August 2023.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need field-level encryption in Django and accept the maintenance risk. The package is abandoned (last update August 2023), so it will not receive security patches or compatibility fixes for newer Django or Python versions. Install only if your Django and Python versions are locked to those it was tested on, or if you are willing to fork and maintain it yourself."},"id":"django-fernet-fields-v2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-fernet-fields-v2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-fernet-fields-v2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-fernet-fields-v2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-08-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-fernet-fields-v2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Fernet-encrypted model fields for Django"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":974985,"position":4599,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9"}
