I am using RestKit to perform database seeding, as well as perform local persistence. The related Core Data and Object Mapping are working as expected. However, I need to encrypt the local database now. I know that the following options are generally used to protect SQLite database

  1. Use some kind of a MDM/Profile Manager with Lion Server, to secure application data (remote wipe etc.)
  2. Use SQLCipher to encrypt database

However, SQLCipher does not work with RestKit. Anybody been in a situation like this, anything else to encrypt the local SQLite? I would like to continue to use RestKit.

I'm not sure this is really necessary. While not an exact answer, this may be helpful for you. You are free to edit the RestKit source to add the NSFileProtectionComplete code or you can ask for a feature enhancement on their github area.

  • Thanks, Paul. I guess the link definitely gives a pretty good picture of what I am trying to do and explains a few limitations. The best way to do that in my mind is having to go for a 'multi-layered security architecture' that basically tightens screws on all the layers in the application lifecycle. – rajeshvenkat Jul 05 '12 at 21:42
