Are you looking to encrypt all data (including references) or specific
text/string fields). In the latter case you can create a validator to
do it
remember that a validator is a two-way filter (in and out):
class IS_SECURE:
def __init__(self,encryption_key):
self.key=encryption_key
def __call__(self,plaintext):
ciphertext = encrypt(self.key,plaintext)
return (ciphertext,None)
def fomatter(self,ciphertext):
plaintext = decrypt(self.key, ciphertext)
return plaintext
Then you simply use this validator for the fields you want to encrypt
and everything will be automatic. If you need other validators, make a
list and make sure this is the last one. This will only work for
string and text validators. It assumes you have encrypt/decrypt
functions.
