How can I implement data encryption in Django?

You can use Django's built-in cryptographic signing and encryption features. Have you considered using the Fernet symmetric encryption?

No, I haven't. How does Fernet work?

Fernet provides a way to encrypt and decrypt data using a symmetric key. You generate a key, then use it to encrypt your data.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

# Generate a key
key = Fernet.generate_key()
fernet = Fernet(key)

# Encrypt data
encrypted = fernet.encrypt(b"my secret data")

# Decrypt data
decrypted = fernet.decrypt(encrypted)
print(decrypted.decode())
