is_encrypted

EncryptHelper.is_encrypted(data: Union[str, bytes], key: Union[str, bytes] = None) → bool[source]

Returns True if the passed data appears to be encrypted. Can only verify encryption if the same key that was used to encrypt the data is passed.

Parameters

  • data (str) – The data to check for encryption, either as a string or bytes

  • key (str) – Base64 encoded Fernet symmetric key for decrypting data. If empty, fallback to encrypt_key

Raises

EncryptKeyMissing – Either no key was passed, or something is wrong with the key.

Return bool is_encrypted

True if the data is encrypted, False if it’s not encrypted or wrong key used.
