SQLCipher is an SQLite extension that provides transparent 256-bit AES
|
|
encryption of database files. Pages are encrypted before being written to
|
|
disk and are decrypted when read back. Due to the small footprint and great
|
|
performance it's ideal for protecting embedded application databases and is
|
|
well suited for mobile development.
|
|
|
|
SQLCipher was initially developed by Stephen Lombardo at Zetetic LLC
|
|
(sjlombardo@zetetic.net) as the encrypted database layer for Strip, an iPhone
|
|
data vault and password manager (http://getstrip.com).
|
|
|
|
TCL extension (libtclsqlite3.so) can be enabled with:
|
|
|
|
WITH_TCL=yes ./sqlcipher.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Note however, it will clobber the stock sqlite library.
