给sqlite数据库加密的两种方法

一个是采用SQLCipher

Need to store sensitive information in your app? SQLCipher  extends SQLite enabling transparent encryption and decryption of data using AES. Its source  is available on Github.

SQLite is pluggable. Developers can create extensions and chain them into SQLite’s engine. Using this mechanism, SQLCipher embeds itself low enough in the stack to be transparent. As a developer, you simply issue queries as you normally would and all of the crypto is handled transparently.

 

SQLCipher’s author, Stephen Lombardo of Zetetic , has also released Cryptographically Secure File I/O  a library that supports random access file IO on encrypted files.

Strong Encryption for Cocoa  / Cocoa  Touch

AES  is a strong encryption standard that has mostly replaced the aging DES standard. AES is widely used and fairly secure encryption mechanism (but I am not an expert at cryptography by any stretch of the imagination; I’m trusting experts for that opinion). AES supports three different key sizes, 128, 192, and 256 (the larger the key, the more secure the encryption and the more processing power it takes to encrypt  or decrypt). Apple uses AES-128 and AES-256 in several places in Mac OS X, including for Disk Image encryption. 

 

There are several public-domain implementations of AES. I chose a public domain implementation
