[Kmymoney-devel] SQLCipher Driver for KMyMoney/Qt

[Christian Dávid]

Hello,

I found SQLCipher [1] which is an encrypted SQLite database. I could make a 
QSqlDriver and played around with it. It seems to work well.

What is missing is a way in KMyMoney to ask the user for the password and send 
that passwort to the database (it is a simple a non-standard SQL statement). 
Then it should be useable. Is someone interested in that?

The problem: creating this plugin is not so simple. You have to install 
sqlcipher which is not included in any Linux distribution (compiling it is not 
so hard).

To make things difficult you need to download the Qt source from git to compile 
the plugin (it uses some private classes/header which are not in development 
packages). So this is only interesting for sophisticated users and package 
maintainers.

Greetings
Christian
