# lintian correctly finds a version of sqlite in the sqlcipher libs. 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
