Core Data

[Davide]

I read a lot of posts and documents about using SQLCipher and Core Data.

Is it true that for now Core Data and SQLCipher can't work together?

Do I have to uninstall Core Data and its stuff and use (optionally) something like fmdb?

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi Davide,

These folks have a project that uses SQLCipher as a storage medium for Core Data, written originally by Caleb Davenport and since improved:

https://github.com/project-imas/encrypted-core-data

I haven't tried it myself, but it looks pretty well done. I'd be curious to hear how it works for you!

Regards,

Billy Gray

Hi Billy, thank you for your quick reply!

I see you link but, if I understand well, with that project the sqlite file is in clear/plain.

I think is not the best solution to protect the file from a user who have access to the original .ipa file.

Have you got another idea?

Hi Davide,

Well, I think your interpretation is mistaken, but I'm just not familiar enough with their project to say for sure. Give it a shot—if it doesn't work as advertised it might be a good idea to write the developers and let them know, or to create an Issue for their project on GitHub so they can keep track of it and get back to you.

Best of luck,

Billy

Hey Billy, good news!

I started with a new project and after little test I saw that sqlite db was not in plain text!

Here how I did the things sequentially (really step by step without the last chapter "Integration Code" of the first link)

1) http://sqlcipher.net/ios-tutorial/

2) https://github.com/project-imas/encrypted-core-data

All I have to do now is to implement all things in my real project!

Tomorrow or after tomorrow I'll try.

...maybe I need another little luck :-)
