If you are trying to defend a database's owner (i.e., the device's
owner) against other people, have the owner supply a password ("seed"
in the parlance of that snippet) to use for encryption.
If you are trying to defend a database *against the device owner*,
don't put the database on the device. Or, come up with a development
and/or business model where you do not fear the user.
