I was looking at different options of SQL Cipher. I don’t quite understand the difference between “Windows Runtime” and “[ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET) - full database encryption”, anyone can help? Thanks

Hello @SheY
SQLCipher for Windows Runtime targets two different version of Windows Runtime, 8.0 and 8.1. These versions of Windows Runtime were meant for the earlier versions of the Surface tablet running [Windows RT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT) as well as Windows 8 and up in a sandboxed environment; target architectures include `x86` and `ARM` platforms.
SQLCipher for [ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET) is a client library that is based on [System.Data.SQLite](http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki). This library includes much broader support of Windows desktop operating systems and provides both Linq and Entity Framework support. This package includes support for both `x86` and `x86_64`.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
