Hi,
Why not just encrypt the file system or part of the disk where the database
is situated? I use TrueCrypt, a free open-source program, for this and it
works great and it's very fast. Unless you're doing hundreds of transactions
per second, you'll hardly notice the performance loss (with AES/Whirlpool).
You can then also encrypt USB memory sticks when you take the database with
you.

Subject: [sqlite] SQLite - how to protect the data
Hi guys,
I am quite new here and quite new to SQLite. I am shocked how small and
fast
this database is. So far I've been using MS Access for my little projects
and I cannot wait to replace it with SQLite.
Now, I have a question which I will have to deal with. One of the
application I work on contains data which have very high value. In another
words the whole value of the app is the database, rather than the front
end.
If somebody makes a clone of the front end I don't care, but if somebody
copies the database and uses the data for his own front end that would be
a
disaster. It is not a privacy issue, but rather the amount of effort put
into filling the database up. I used to use a kind of crypto ActiveX when
Access was used. It worked although slowed already not fastest database
down
which showed during search and filter operations.
If anybody knows hot to ensure that the data is not readable without the
front end I would appreciate it.
I found a link talking about encryption, but this is not exactly
affordable
for my type of project.

Thanks for any suggestions.
