Is it possible to encrypt a SQLite database on WinRT?
Good evening. There is such a difficulty. A competition is taking place at the university and it is necessary to develop a quiz application where questions will be taken from the database. The job requires an encrypted database. I know about SQL CE, but this is a last resort. The database is not very large and will be read-only. The application is positioned as a universal Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. So the question arose whether it is possible to encrypt the database and then decrypt and use it under WinRT.

You can encrypt it, but there will be little sense from such encryption. It is best to make the application as a web application and host it on a server. Then it will be much more difficult to get to the data.
Encryption implies the key to decryption. Will you enter the key with your hands (ala password) or store it in the application code?)) Encrypt the data, if you really need it, and not the database) With mobile platforms, this is a difficult thing, exactly because of the cat. wrote above.
