## go-sqlcipher [](http://godoc.org/github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher) [](https://travis-ci.org/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher) ### Description Self-contained Go sqlite3 driver with an AES-256 encrypted sqlite3 database conforming to the built-in database/sql interface. It is based on: - stripped-down Go sqlite3 driver: https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 - SQLite extension with AES-256 codec: https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher - AES-256 implementation from: https://github.com/libtom/libtomcrypt SQLite itself is part of SQLCipher. go-sqlcipher currently only supports the SQLCipher 3.x releases. ### Installation This package can be installed with the go get command: go get github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher ### Documentation To create and open encrypted database files use the following DSN parameters: ```go key := "2DD29CA851E7B56E4697B0E1F08507293D761A05CE4D1B628663F411A8086D99" dbname := fmt.Sprintf("db?_pragma_key=x'%s'&_pragma_cipher_page_size=4096", key) db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", dbname) ``` `_pragma_key` is the hex encoded 32 byte key (must be 64 characters long). `_pragma_cipher_page_size` is the page size of the encrypted database (set if you want a different value than the default 1024 bytes). API documentation can be found here: http://godoc.org/github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher Use the function [sqlite3.IsEncrypted()](https://godoc.org/github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher#IsEncrypted) to check whether a database file is encrypted or not.
