Thanks for the updates and giving the code a closer look. It may just
be my local configuration (I'll play with the code once I get it on
the live server), but I cannot get past the "ordinal not in
range(128)" error without performing two base64 encodings. I'm sure
this is why I have to decode twice, but every combination of base64 +
encString returns the same error unless I (1) encode the received
passport with base64, (2) then encString, (3) then encode the encoded
string again with base64. I did rewrite the code to be a bit more
streamlined. Do you think this will solve the possibility for an
unencrypted passport to be re-saved to the database?
def set_passport(self, passport):
secret_key = settings.SECRET_KEY
k = ezPyCrypto.key()
k.importKey(secret_key)
#raw = base64.b64encode(passport)
#encPassport = k.encString(raw)
#self.passport = base64.b64encode(encPassport)
self.passport =
base64.b64encode(k.encString(base64.b64encode(passport)))
def get_passport(self):
secret_key = settings.SECRET_KEY
k = ezPyCrypto.key()
k.importKey(secret_key)
#encrypted_passport = base64.b64decode(self.passport)
#decrypted_passport = k.decString(encrypted_passport)
#self.passport = base64.b64decode(decrypted_passport)
#return self.passport
return
base64.b64decode(k.decString(base64.b64decode(self.passport)))
Still redundant...but it seems like I'm merely returning self.passport
rather than changing it as before. Am I correct here?
