What is SQLCipher? SQLCipher has been adopted as a secure database solution in thousands of commercial and open source products. SQLCipher is a standalone fork of SQLite that adds 256 bit AES encryption of database files and other security features. SQLCipher is based on SQLite and stable upstream release features are periodically integrated. While SQLCipher is maintained as a separate version of the source tree, the project minimizes alterations to core SQLite code whenever possible.
SQLCipher is maintained by Zetetic, LLC, and additional information and documentation is available on the official SQLCipher site.
Versions (Distribution Options)
SQLCipher has four different distribution options to meet the needs of any organization, from open source teams up to the largest enterprises with strict security requirements.
