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;
}
SQLite doesn't support encrypting database files by default. Instead, you need to use a modified version of SQLite like SEE, SQLCipher, SQLiteCrypt, or wxSQLite3.
1. SQLite Always Validates Its Inputs. SQLite should never crash, overflow a buffer, leak memory, or exhibit any other harmful behavior, even when presented with maliciously malformed SQL inputs or database files. SQLite should always detect erroneous inputs and raise an error, not crash or corrupt memory.
Flutter apps can make use of the SQLite databases via the sqflite plugin available on pub.
Pointy Castle seems to be the encryption library of choice at the moment.
