# django-secup

Allow django users to securely communicating sensitive files over the internet.

Only django users which is staff can invite an external user to upload a sensitive file.

Ordinary django users can send file with description to the django staff users if have valid emails. If invalid email address is used, secup managers defined in the settings will be notified.

Signed urls created to navigates users to secup.


## Warning

If we want to securly serve files from Cloud, it is easy. But if we don't use a cloud provider, the best solution requires cooperation of django and web server like X-Sendfile. Other methods not included web servers is not completely secure or should not prefered if the file sizes are large.

This application package uses a secure method not included web servers, but it's not ideal way to serve large files expecting high traffic.


## Todos

- Create a new flow for staff to sends files to external users.
- Create a structure to sign files which uploaded by staff with GnuPG.
- Write tests with high coverage.


## Quick start

1. Install the secup module::
```sh
pip install django-secup

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'secup',
]
```

3. Include the secup URLconf in your project urls.py like this::
```python
path('secup/', include('secup.urls')),
```

4. Run migrations to create the secup models::
```sh
python manage.py migrate
```

5. You have to define secup managers in the settings.py, superusers or a tuple of users::
```python
SUPERUSERS_AS_SECUP_MANAGERS = True
# or
CUSTOM_SECUP_MANAGERS = (
('Yusuf Ozer', '[e-mail]'),
)
```

6. You can set secure media folder in the settings.py, default is 'secure-media' folder::
```python
SECURE_MEDIA_URL_PREFIX = '/secure-media/'
SECURE_MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'secure-media/')
```

7. To send notification mails with signed urls to related users set::
