SQLCipher Binaries for Windows

[Stephen Lombardo]

Hi Folks,

Building SQLCipher for Windows can be a complex and time consuming task. After receiving many requests, we've recently started to offer "official" windows binary packages for sale on the SQLCipher website

http://sqlcipher.net/downloads

These packages contain everything a developer needs to start building secure database applications:

• Precompiled and ready-to-use DLL and import library for dynamically linking SQLCipher
• Amalgamated .c file and static OpenSSL crypto library for embedding SQLCipher
• Working example application code that uses the SQLCipher library to encrypt a database
• A fully functional “sqlite3” command shell for SQLCipher

In addition, the package for .NET adds:

• An ADO.NET provider built to open SQLCipher databases (based on System.Data.SQLite)
• A LINQ provider for use with the Entity Framework
• A .NET 4.0 C# example application that uses the ADO.NET provider to encrypt a database

These packages are reasonably priced and the proceeds help offset the costs of developing, maintaining, and supporting SQLCipher. If you've struggle with windows compilation before or you just want to simplify dependencies, please check them out:
