  • Basic Security Practices for SQLite: Safeguarding Your Data
    1 project | dev.to | 3 Feb 2024
    SQLite, while versatile and easy to use, does not include built-in support for encryption, leaving the data at rest potentially vulnerable. To address this, external tools such as the SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE) or open-source projects like SQLCipher can be employed to encrypt the database file. This process can be achieved through the following steps:

    I am personally using SQLite for a project that has been ordered by some future clients and it would perfectly suit your case. I strongly recommend it. Moreover, you can encrypt your entire db is you use this.

    > Cloud sync (encrypted!) is important because your average user needs that convenience and durability of authenticator

    Local-only iOS Codebook [1] sync (open-source encrypted! by SQLCipher [2]) provides convenience, durability, transparency, decentralization and fewer supply chain dependencies.

  • Injecting (cryptographic) secrets into automated software release build pipelines?
    2 projects | /r/embedded | 17 Nov 2022
    One option that I have been considering is creating a simple, encrypted SQL database (like SQLite & SQLcipher combo), that could be used to store & retrieve crypto secrets required in the release build pipeline. To manipulate this database, one needs to provide a password. This solution could be implemented as a microservice running on the build server, for example, in a dedicated docker container. To trigger a new release build, the user with the correct credentials could access the build server over our local network, and, if in a possession of the correct password required to decrypt the crypto database, trigger a release build.

    That's not true. There are wonderful open source projects ensuring that layer. https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher for example.
  • Connecting to a sqlite database, but encrypting it at rest
    4 projects | /r/sqlite | 10 Dec 2021
    No, SQLCipher takes another approach. They modify the source of SQLite's pager with numerous code blocks in order to "hook in" the encryption code. Compare this SQLCipher code to the original SQLite code.

  • Encrypted sqLite
    1 project | /r/sqlite | 14 Feb 2021
    Your options are use SQLCipher to transparently encrypt the entire DB file on the device, or your have your app handle the encryption/decryption of each record during each read/write operation. If AES-256 isn't a hard requirement, encrypting at the record level is way easier with libsodium secretbox
