How to encrypt the SQLite database in Flutter?

问题

I am creating a database in Flutter by the following code, is there any way we can encrypt the database?

Is there any library available for Flutter?

initDb() async {
    io.Directory documentsDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    String path = join(documentsDirectory.path, "test.db");
    var theDb = await openDatabase(path, version: 1, onCreate: _onCreate);
    return theDb;
  }

回答1:

Pointy Castle seems to be the encryption library of choice at the moment.

回答2:

Current sqflite uses whatever sqlite version the platform provides. There is a discussion about that here that you could follow here: https://github.com/tekartik/sqflite/issues/32

The only solution I am aware now is this one https://github.com/QwilApp/encrypted_sqlite which can be used as a drop-in replacement to sqflite which as you stated uses SQLCipher on the native side

I am also looking for such a library today.

And finally I found flutter_sqlcipher in pub.dev, which really solved my problem.

Here is the description of it.

This is a Flutter plugin that bundles and wraps SQLCipher for Android, an open-source extension to SQLite that provides transparent 256-bit AES encryption of database files.

Hope it helps you.
