+Client-side databases
+=====================
+
+Soledad Client uses `SQLCipher <https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/>`_ for
+storing data. The symmetric key used to unlock databases is chosen randomly and
+stored encrypted with the user's passphrase (see :ref:`storage-secrets` for
+more details).
+
+:ref:`Documents <document-encryption>` and :ref:`blobs <blobs>` are stored in
+different databases protected with the same symmetric secret.
