Hello @Ros_Haitovich

The client library included within SQLCipher for Windows UAP which is based on [SQLite.Net-PCL](https://github.com/oysteinkrog/SQLite.Net-PCL) is modified to support the keying API for SQLCipher, as well as properly initializing the entropy pool for the crypto provider utilized within SQLCipher. Unfortunately, using [SQLitePCL](https://sqlitepcl.codeplex.com/) would not be a drop in replacement.
