Encryption

Hello

I am evaluating LiteDAC because I have the impression that this library manages in a better way the encryption than Unidac does with SQLIte.

Is this correct? or, Does Unidac manages encryption strong enough with SQLite?

If so, what is the DLL or library I have to add in order to encrypt my sqlite databases?

regards

Hello,

Encryption is not included into the free version of the SQLite library. To use encryption you have to use either a SQLite assembly that supports encryption, or the Direct mode (both in UniDAC and LiteDAC) which supports encryption. For more information, see the reference for these products at http://www.devart.com/litedac/docs/data ... yption.htm and http://www.devart.com/unidac/docs/datab ... yption.htm

Hello Alex, thanks for your answer,

As I can read, the encryption with unidac is field based, and with litedac is database based encryptionj, right? I mean, if I use unidac i can encrypt fields but not the whole database, am I correct?

In the other hand, if I use LiteDAC I can encrypt the whole database as well as desired fields

Regards!

Hello,

In the mentioned "Database File Encryption" articles, the SQLite database file encryption is described both in UniDAC and LiteDAC. If you want to encrypt separate fields, you can use the Data Encryption feature both in UniDAC and LiteDAC
