If Windows RT supports the "encrypted files and folders" option of the NTFS 
file system -- I could not find anything that said explicitly that it either 
was or was not supported, and I don't have a Windows RT device to test with -- 
that would definitely be the way to go. It would require only the effort to 
turn on the encryption feature for the database file (or the directory holding 
multiple database files).

It's appropriate to always ask the question "what is the motivation for 
encrypting the database?"

If the reason is to prevent someone who steals the device from easily reading 
the data file (for example after removing or copying the hard drive), consider 
that someone who steals the device could run whatever installed software that's 
designed to be able to read/write the database. You would need to prevent them 
from being able to do that, otherwise the encryption would not be very useful.

There is a non-free version of sqlite that
encrypt the db. If it is that you want then
you have to contact them directly.

Otherwise just use sqlite on a EncFs mounted
disk?
