How can i implement SQLCipher encryption - decryption for already created physically SQLite database with added populated row, also able alterable this database via coding in iOS?

[sjlombardo]

Just to close out this thread, SQLCipher does not rewrite standard SQLite databases with encryption using sqlite3_key. It is necessary for the application to use an attached database to copy data between standard and non-encrypted databases (e.g. with the sqlcipher_export() function). Please see this related post for more details:

We often field questions about how SQLCipher encryption works. In one common scenario, a developer wants to convert an existing standard SQLite database to an encrypted SQLCipher database. For example, this might be a requirement for an application that was not previously using SQLCipher, and must convert an insecure database to use SQLCipher full database encryption during an upgrade. In such cases, developers may initially attempt to open a standard SQLite database and then call sqlite3_key o…
