Encryptions support

[albyrock87]

Hi, I need information regarding database encryption.

Looking at SQLite documentation it appears the encryption is part of an extension SEE.
I wanted to use the SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_e_sqlite3 package on my .NET MAUI app to have behavior consistency across platforms, but unfortunately I see that package does not bundle this SEE.

I see that SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_e_sqlcipher supports encryption but as stated in the README.md it is an unofficial and unsupported package.

So what should I do to have the official and latest SQLite builds together with encryption support?

Thanks so much!

We cannot bundle SEE because it is not open source.

As you observed, my builds of the SQLCipher code are unsupported.

If you want an official and supported solution with SQLCipher, you can purchase that from Zetetic. It is compatible with SQLitePCLRaw.

As an alternative open source solution, you may also want to consider:

Hi,
i'm using your encryption in my iOS app (with Xamarin) with SQLlite.

Is there any information about the iOS library used for managing encryption?

Does the sql-cipher module uses the “Common Crypto” library of the Security Framework of Apple?

If yes, please, could you give an evidence of it?

Thanks.

I don't know if sqlcipher uses Common Crypto on iOS or not.

ok.
do you know a way to understand if it uses Common Crypto?
Thanks
