SQLite with encryption/password protection

Question

I\'m just learning to use SQLite and I was curious if such is possible:

1. Encryption of the database file?

2. Password protect opening of the dat

Answer 1

SQLite has hooks built-in for encryption which are not used in the normal distribution, but here are a few implementations I know of:

• SEE - The official implementation.
• wxSQLite - A wxWidgets style C++ wrapper that also implements SQLite's encryption.
• SQLCipher - Uses openSSL's libcrypto to implement.
• SQLiteCrypt - Custom implementation, modified API.
• botansqlite3 - botansqlite3 is an encryption codec for SQLite3 that can use any algorithms in Botan for encryption.
• sqleet - another encryption implementation, using ChaCha20/Poly1305 primitives. Note that wxSQLite mentioned above can use this as a crypto provider.

The SEE and SQLiteCrypt require the purchase of a license.

Disclosure: I created botansqlite3.
