Which ciphers and modes does SQLCipher offers?

Question

In SQLCipher I can change the cipher using PRAGMA cipher. The default cipher is AES-256-cbc. What are the supported ciphers and modes of operation?

Answer 1

SQLCipher uses OpenSSL, and thus relies on the underlying cipher suite supported by the library, initialized using the standard cipher-length-mode identifier. However, this feature is mainly reserved for specific circumstances where an alternate cipher is required. We generally recommend that integrations use the default aes-256-cbc.
