+SQLCipher is a standalone fork of the SQLite database library that adds 256 bit
+AES encryption of database files and other security features like:
+* on-the-fly encryption
+* tamper detection
+* memory sanitization
+* strong key derivation
+
+SQLCipher is based on SQLite and stable upstream release features are
+periodically integrated. While SQLCipher is maintained as a separate version of
+the source tree, the project minimizes alterations to core SQLite code whenever
+possible.
+
+SQLCipher is maintained by Zetetic, LLC, and additional information and
+documentation is available on the official SQLCipher site.
