SQLCipher +# is a customized version of SQLite3 that adds encryption support. +# Unfortunately, this cannot be implemented as a plain plugin to SQLite +# because it is not possible to make the encryption transparent without +# modifying the core of SQLite. For example, with SQLCipher, you only need to +# know about sqlite_key()/sqlite_rekey() and the related PRAGMAS, and the rest +# of the API and SQL calls are exactly the same as SQLite. I believe this is +# not even possible using the SQLite author's proprietary encryption plugin. +# +# Some more info on its design is available here: http://sqlcipher.net/design +# +# It was also discussed on debian-security: +# http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2012/09/msg00044.html +# http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2012/10/msg00002.html +# +libsqlcipher0: embedded-library usr/lib/*/libsqlcipher.so.0.8.6: sqlite |
