wxSQLite3 is a C++ wrapper around the public domain SQLite 3.x database and is specifically designed for use in programs based on the wxWidgets library.
wxSQLite3 does not try to hide the underlying database, in contrary almost all special features of the current SQLite3 version are supported, like for example the creation of user defined scalar or aggregate functions.
Since SQLite stores strings in UTF-8 encoding, the wxSQLite3 methods provide automatic conversion between wxStrings and UTF-8 strings. Special care has to be taken if external administration tools are used to modify the database contents, since not all of these tools operate in Unicode or UTF-8 mode.
wxSQLite3 includes a key-based SQLite3 encryption extension. Starting with version 4.0.0 the encryption extension allows to select the cipher scheme at runtime.
Currently the following encryption schemes are supported:
- AES 128 Bit CBC - No HMAC (wxSQLite3)
- AES 256 Bit CBC - No HMAC (wxSQLite3)
- ChaCha20 - Poly1305 HMAC (sqleet) (default)
- AES 256 Bit CBC - SHA1/SHA256/SHA512 HMAC (SQLCipher versions 1 - 4)
- RC4 - No HMAC (System.Data.SQLite)
- Ascon 128 - Ascon Tag (Ascon) (since version 4.9.8)
- AEGIS - AEGIS Tag (AEGIS) (since version 4.10.0)
