SQLight + Password

[EddyW]

Is it possible to protect a SQlite database with a password?

We dont need encryption so SQlCyper is much to heavy for only a password protection of a SQLite database.

We only want to block the option that they copy the database of the app we made and open it with another App or on a desktop.

SQLite doesn't have such a feature. You will need to use SQLCipher.

You can encrypt your data first then save it into SQLite.

thanks

pitty that there is no other way to protect the SQLite database with a password then to use SQLCyper. to add a big lib for only a password protection is little to much.

I think, it could be possible to make this password protection for yourself: the first tip is, to use a name with another meaning, maybe pict1.jpg. Only your program knows, whats inside. But it could be, that some search routines want to catalog each picture?!

The second idea: protect the first block of the database with an logical Xor Bit system; only you know, how to reverse it. The problem could be, if something is crashing, the database stays unprotected...

Thanks for the idea the first one could be enough
