== SQLite Cipher == SQLite Cipher 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. Encryption is provided by the OpenSSL crypto library. SQLite Cipher was initially developed by Stephen Lombardo at Zetetic LLC (sjlombardo@zetetic.net) to provide the encrypted database layer for Strip, an iPhone data vault and password manager ( http://www.zetetic.net/products/strip ). The official SQLCipher software site can be found at http://www.zetetic.net/software/sqlcipher Issues or support questions on using SQLCipher should be entered into the GitHub Issue tracker: http://github.com/sjlombardo/sqlcipher/issues Please DO NOT post issues, support questions, or other problems to blog posts about SQLCipher as we do not monitor them frequently. If you are using SQLCipher in your own software please let us know at support@zetetic.net! [Compiling] Building SQLite Cipher is almost the same as compiling a regular version of SQLite with three small exceptions: 1. building via 'amalgamation' isn't supported (where all sqlite source is merged into one file) 2. you must define SQLITE_HAS_CODEC and SQLITE_TEMP_STORE=2 in your application when including SQLCipher 3. You need to link against a OpenSSL's libcrypto with sha256 support compiled in Example Static linking (replace /opt/local/lib with the path to libcrypto.a) ./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="/opt/local/lib/libcrypto.a" make Example Dynamic linking ./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto" make [Encrypting a database] To specify an encryption passphrase for the database you can use a pragma. The passphrase you enter is hashed using sha256 and the result is used as the encryption key for the database. PRAGMA key = 'passphrase'; Alternately, you can specify an exact byte sequence using a blob literal. If you use this method it is your responsibility to ensure that the data you provide a 64 character hex string, which will be converted directly to 32 bytes (256 bits) of key data. PRAGMA key = "x'2DD29CA851E7B56E4697B0E1F08507293D761A05CE4D1B628663F411A8086D99'"; To encrypt a database programatically you can use the sqlite3_key function. The data provided in pKey is converted to an encryption key according to the same rules as PRAGMA key. int sqlite3_key(sqlite3 *db, const void *pKey, int nKey); PRAGMA key or sqlite3_key should be called as the first operation when a database is open. [Changing a database key] To change the encryption passphrase for an existing database you should use the rekey pragma after you've supplied the correct database password; PRAGMA key = 'passphrase'; -- start with the exi 6238 sting database passphrase PRAGMA rekey = 'new-passphrase'; -- rekey will reencrypt the database with the new passphrase The hexrekey pragma may be used to rekey to a specific binary value PRAGMA rekey = "x'2DD29CA851E7B56E4697B0E1F08507293D761A05CE4D1B628663F411A8086D99'"; This can be accomplished programtically by using sqlite3_rekey; sqlite3_rekey(sqlite3 *db, const void *pKey, int nKey) [Encrypting a standard database] Encrypting a standard, plaintext SQLite database is not supported at this time. We are currently working on a resolution to the problem. In the mean time it is easiest to start out with an encrypted database if possible. Alternately it should be possible to open a standard database, ATTACH an encrypted DB, and then copy your tables and data between the two.

It is recommended, but not required, that the build directory be separate from the source directory. Cd into the build directory and then from the build directory run the configure script found at the root of the source tree. Then run "make". For example: tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz ;# Unpack the source tree into "sqlite" mkdir bld ;# Build will occur in a sibling directory cd bld ;# Change to the build directory ../sqlite/configure ;# Run the configure script make ;# Run the makefile. make install ;# (Optional) Install the build products The configure script uses autoconf 2.61 and libtool. If the configure script does not work out for you, there is a generic makefile named "Makefile.linux-gcc" in the top directory of the source tree that you can copy and edit to suit your needs. Comments on the generic makefile show what changes are needed. The linux binaries on the website are created using the generic makefile, not the configure script. The windows binaries on the website are created using MinGW32 configured as a cross-compiler running under Linux. For details, see the ./publish.sh script at the top-level of the source tree. The developers do not use teh configure script. SQLite does not require TCL to run, but a TCL installation is required by the makefiles. SQLite contains a lot of generated code and TCL is used to do much of that code generation. The makefile also requires AWK. Contacts: http://www.sqlite.org/
