Add Amazon KMS encrypted database fields
Project description
django-kms-field
KMS encrypted database field for Django.
The KMSEncryptedCharField uses your KMS key to encrypt your data before it is stored in the database and it decrypts it again when you read from the database.
It was designed with stored credentials and other critical private data in mind. I would strongly recommend thinking about which models use this field with as it has not been optomized for high volume access and boto api calls during query time may impact performance. Splitting secure fields into separate models can improve performance significantly as opposed to putting encrypted fields in frequently read and saved models.
Example
from django.db import models
from django_kms.fields import KMSEncryptedCharField
class StoredCredential(models.Model):
description = models.CharField(max_length=50)
username = models.CharField(max_length=50)
password = KMSEncryptedCharField(key_id="alias/my_key")
Django settings
KMS_FIELD_KEY = 'alias/<my-key>'
KMS_FIELD_REGION = 'us-west-2'
