The most direct analogue I would think would be to put the store on an encrypted disk image. Of course the volume will appear systemwide, but you could set appropriate read permissions on the disk image's contents. Alternatively, you could use a custom NSAtomicStore subclass which you encrypt when writing it to the filesystem, but that ditches all the advantages of the SQLite store. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
