It wraps Django's BinaryField to transparently handle encryption at the ORM layer, so encrypted data is stored in your database while your application code reads and writes plaintext values.\n\nThe package targets Django 4.0 and later on Python 3, and has been tested with PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL. It is a maintained fork of an earlier django-fernet-fields project. The project is currently abandoned\u2014no releases since February 2022\u2014so you should treat it as a reference implementation or candidate for forking rather than an actively supported dependency.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (1643 days since last release) with no maintenance signals, and high install friction from source-only distribution. If you need Django field encryption, evaluate actively maintained alternatives or fork this project yourself if you understand the cryptography requirements and can commit to maintenance."},"id":"djfernet","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djfernet","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djfernet.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/djfernet/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-02-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"djfernet","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":84771,"position":13975,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.1"}
