The pervasive proliferation of embedded, mobile, and IoT devices continue to change our lifestyle dramatically. However, the huge increase in these devices has come with critical breaches to data resting inside them. Many types of such data are considered to be sensitive and confidential. Because the most sensitive data of such devices are resting in databases, focusing on encrypting SQLite databases will be more efficient than full disk encryption (FDE). While SQLite is a very popular, lightweight, and easy-to-use relational database suitable for embedded and mobile devices, its stored data suffers serious security risks. If an attacker can gain access to higher system privileges or find a way to access the database plain file, he can tamper with the database files and user-sensitive data, which breaches the security CIA triad of SQLite. To ensure data confidentiality in SQLite databases of embedded devices, we …
