You certainly mean some or all columns in all the rows, don't you? Well, no matter -- you can encrypt any column in any row using any one way hashing algorithm. Good enough for routine password storage, etc. > I would like to know the best way to encrypt the whole sqlite DB.

While the sqlite source code is in public domain, the encryption-enabled source code is not in public domain. So, if you buy it, you are supposed to NOT resell or redistribute it. I have no experience with it, but from occasional hearsay, it is supposed to be just as good as sqlite itself, so probably worth every cent spent on it. > kavita > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
