Package: libsqlcipher-dev (4.6.1-1) [debports]

SQLCipher development files

SQLCipher is a C library that implements an encryption in the SQLite 3 database engine. Programs that link with the SQLCipher library can have SQL database access without running a separate RDBMS process. It allows one to have per-database or page-by-page encryption using AES-256 from OpenSSL.

SQLCipher has a small footprint and great performance so it’s ideal for protecting embedded application databases and is well suited for mobile development.

 * as little as 5-15% overhead for encryption
 * 100% of data in the database file is encrypted
 * Uses good security practices (CBC mode, key derivation)
 * Zero-configuration and application level cryptography
 * Algorithms provided by the peer reviewed OpenSSL crypto library.

SQLCipher has broad platform support for with C/C++, Obj-C, QT, Win32/.NET/Mono, Java, Python, Ruby, Linux, Mac OS X, iPhone/iOS, Android, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.Android.

This package contains the development files (headers, static libraries)
