Proposal: django-fernet-fields

[9mido]

Project Proposal

Hello! I propose django-fernet-fields.

Project Details

django-fernet-fields provides symmetric encryption for Django model fields, using the cryptography library.

Packages to encrypt have existed in the past, but have not been continued due to maintenance difficulties.

Any update on this??

@sidmitra @9mido any updates on this? django 4.2 LST is coming up, would be nice to upgrade soon.

@domdinicola I've not heard back on this here, nor from the author. So not sure what the best way forward is

I'm maintaining a fork here for work:
https://github.com/Airbase/django-fernet-fields-django-v4

If i get no response, then either i'd have to upload my fork to pypi and take over ownership(or atleast maintain that with jazzband if possible). Or move to something like djfernet. Although that library had some breaking changes here making it unsafe until they reverted the change back. I would rather trust crypto related libraries to larger, well-known orgs like jazzband!

Thanks for creating this! I'm a +1 for bringing this into Jazzband. As other people, I'm also needing to make it up to date with newer Django versions and having to install the project from Github repos is not the best practice to have.

+1 to getting a jazzband-supported version here, rather than the proliferation of forks.
