Are we really comparing a userland, unencrypted-at-rest SQLite database with Apple's app sandbox + secure enclave?

- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoTo be evenhanded, encrypting SQLite at rest is a well-solved problem. Dr. Richard Hipp and his merry men even sell an official extension to do so. Plenty of third party FOSS solutions also exist for this. I feel if that were the case I'd suddenly feel a lot more comfortable with the MS approach than the Apple approach.
- mjg59 2y agoUnder what circumstances would someone have access to the database but not the key?
- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoWell, presumably under the circumstances where you'd prefer that.
- mjg59 2y agoHow?
- karlgkk 2y agoEncryption isn’t the problem here, it’s key management. And Microsoft’s solution was borderline useless
