Sharc.Crypto

Production-grade encryption extensions for the Sharc database engine.

Page-level encryption for SQLite databases using modern cryptographic primitives, with zero native dependencies.

Features

• AES-256-GCM: Authenticated encryption for every database page.
• Argon2id: Memory-hard key derivation to protect against brute-force attacks.
• Zero-Dependency: Pure .NET cryptographic implementations — no native libraries.
• Secure Lifecycle: SharcKeyHandle ensures keys are handled safely in memory.

Quick Start

using Sharc; // Open an encrypted database var options = new SharcOpenOptions { Password = "your-secure-password" }; using var db = SharcDatabase.Open("secure_data.db", options); // Reads are transparently decrypted at the page level // with zero intermediate byte[] allocations. using var reader = db.CreateReader("users"); while (reader.Read()) Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(1));
