+SQLCipher is an SQLite extension that provides transparent 256-bit AES
+encryption of database files. Pages are encrypted before being written to
+disk and are decrypted when read back. Due to the small footprint and great
+performance it's ideal for protecting embedded application databases and is
+well suited for mobile development.
+
+SQLCipher was initially developed by Stephen Lombardo at Zetetic LLC
+(sjlombardo@zetetic.net) as the encrypted database layer for Strip, an iPhone
+data vault and password manager (http://getstrip.com).
