So i tried using PRAGMA cipher command and received the below warning: PRAGMA cipher command is deprecated, please remove from usage. How can a database cipher be set or changed? The current cipher version is 3.4.0 $ sqlcipher newEncrypted.db SQLCipher version 3.11.0 2016-02-15 17:29:24 Enter …

Hello @luoandre29 , The support for changing ciphers within SQLCipher has been deprecated and will be removed is some future version of SQLCipher. While it currently still works, you are notified via the prompt you received of the deprecation. You can confirm your current cipher by executing: PRAGM…

What’s the reasoning behind this? We would actually need to use a different cipher than the standard, and one would think you can just rely on libsodium or openssl to carry out the encryption.

PRAGMA cipher is a relic dating back to the very first version of SQLCipher when OpenSSL was the only cryptographic backend. With the introduction of the cryptographic provider interface in SQLCipher, platform builds may use different providers depending on requirements, e.g. OpenSSL, CommonCrypto (…

Thanks @sjlombardo & @developernotes , this is really helpful. Could you point me to some docs that describe how to configure the librabry/cipher used? For me libsodium would be preferred if you support it.
