Field Encryption

With this module user can store encrypted field value in database. So no one can see the value from database. Multiple fields can be stored inside single Encrypted Field. Just before storing to database, fields gets serialized, and encrypted. On the other hand, after reading, encrypted field gets decrypted and deserialized and values are available in each field in original form.

Requirements

pip install cryptography

Configuration

Because this module extends odoo.fields module, it needs to be loaded as server wide module. This can be achieved by passing

--load="web,field_encryption"

or by adding following line to the server config file:

server_wide_modules = web,field_encryption

In order to set key for encryption/decryption, add following line to server config file:

encryption_key=<YOUR_KEY>

You can generate key with python cryptography module like this:

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

Fernet.generate_key().decode()

Usage

Data encryption is using for protect sensitive data. If any outsiders get the access of database or can get backup database then sensitive data can be protected by encryption. Without key there is no way to access that field value.
