Ok, Androids, I have an odd question on SQLite's file storage. We have a need to encrypt the data stored within SQLite. The obvious approach would be to encrypt individual records before storing them in the table, but that will melt down. For example, if we want to search for a string, we would have to actually retrieve everything in the table and decrypt all of it to find the string. Doing a join seems like it would be impossible. We're not even going to explore or consider that route.
I know that SQLite stores all the data in a single flat file. I assume that it accesses that file by MemoryMappedFile or something like that. My idea is to create a sub-class of MemoryMappedFile that does block encryption / decryption on write / read. Doing so would be quite efficient, and lets us use SQLite as normal. We would somehow have to pass that special encrypted MemoryMappedFile to SQLite when the instance is constructed. But I've never done this before and don't really know any of these internals. Does anyone have some insight on where to begin on that?
