How to protect my database in IOS application (Best way)

Question

I'm using SQLite database in my application and I need to protect the SQLite file. What's the best way to protect it?

1. Password protected?
2. DB Encryption?

Answer 1

There is a proprietary extension for SQLite available that provides encryption: The SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE)

If the core data is precious, you should consider obtaining a license.

Alternatively, you can write a Virtual Filesystem Module which allows you to have code between database engine and file storage and implement some kind of encryption there.
