Now we switched to a domain, and because different people (with different accounts) should use the so...

Hi, I'm currently building an app that generates quotes. The total time to generate all quotes is about 10 secs, and at present provides an unacceptable user experience.

What is the best approach to encrypting a SQLite database file in .Net/C#? I'm using sqlite-dotnet2 wrapper. There are tools like SQLite Encryption Extension and SQLite Crypt, but both are non-free, while my project is under GPL.
