Customizing accessing database in Django

Question

I'm using Django 1.4, python 2.7. I want to encrypt data when it gets inserted into DB and decrypt it when I'm reading it from DB. I can override the Save method of each model to store encrypted data but I don't know what should I do when I want to read this data. I have to handle admin site model and my project's models. Which method should I override?

i think best way is overwrite django Model with new name like EncryptModel this is for one field example Encrypting Database Data in Django | Tyler Lesmann -> tylerlesmann.com/2008/dec/19/encrypting-database-data-django — Mohammad Efazati

The EncryptedTextField and EncryptedCharField from django-extensions seem like the things you're looking for.
