Is there any JDBC driver exist for SQLCipher? I want to write program with javaSE and encrypted SQLite. I searched on the Internet and found nothing much on SQLCipher JDBC.
Or any other free solution on encrypted SQLite beside using SQLCipher? I'm using JavaSE.
There is an Apache 2.0 licensed package named sqlite-jdbc-crypt ("SQLite JDBC Driver with encryption and authentication support") available at https://github.com/Willena/sqlite-jdbc-crypt
Click on the 'Releases' tab in the center to download a pre-build .jar file.
Here's example Java code to create an encrypted SQLite database named db.sql which is encrypted with the password apassword:
package com.name.test;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Test {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
try (final Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:db.sqlite", "",
"apassword")) {
try (final Statement stmt = connection.createStatement()) {
stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE test (data TEXT(10));");
stmt.execute("INSERT INTO test VALUES('hello');");
}
connection.close();
} catch (final SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("finished");
System.exit(0);
}
}
There is a fork of the JDBC driver for SQLite that modifies it to work with SQLCipher: sqlcipher-jdbc on GitHub. You have to build it yourself, though.
When you built it, you get an JAR file that you have to provide in your project's classpath.
