Whether or not thinkgeo will support sqlite encryption extensions

#1

Hello,

Security has been brought up as a concern for our data storage which is in an sqlite database. Sqlite has encryption extensions which we have thought about using. However, we are unsure whether or not the thinkgeo code is smart enough to work through the sqlite database with the encryption extensions. Please let me know any thoughts about this.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

It looks our SqliteFeatureLayer hadn’t implement the encryption related function.

I am not sure about how the Sqlite encryption works, if add parameter in the connection string can visit the encryption sqlite database, you can easily modify that in the ConnectionString property.

Or you can see whether the class SQLiteConnection in System.Data.SQLite version 1.0.99.0 support the encryption extension, if it support that, you can directly assign you value into this class and pass it as parameter into our SqliteFeatureLayer.

Wish that’s helpful.

Regards,

Don
