There are two ways to use drift on encrypted databases.
The `encrypted_drift` package is similar to `drift_sqflite` and uses a platform plugin written in
Java.

On Android, you also need to adapt the opening behavior of the `sqlite3` package to use the encrypted library instead
of the regular `libsqlite3.so`:

```dart
import 'package:sqlite3/open.dart';
// call this method before using drift
void setupSqlCipher() {
open.overrideFor(
OperatingSystem.android, () => DynamicLibrary.open('libsqlcipher.so'));
}
```

When using drift on a background database, you need to call `setupSqlCipher` on the background isolate
as well.

A good place to do that in drift is the `setup` parameter of `NativeDatabase`, which runs before drift
is using the database in any way:

```dart
NativeDatabase(
File(...),
setup: (rawDb) {
rawDb.execute("PRAGMA key = 'passphrase';");
}
);
```
{% include "blocks/snippet" snippets = snippets name = "encrypted1" %}

For this reason, it is recommended that you check that the `cipher_version` pragma is available at runtime:

```dart
bool _debugCheckHasCipher(Database database) {
return database.select('PRAGMA cipher_version;').isNotEmpty;
}
```
{% include "blocks/snippet" snippets = snippets name = "check_cipher" %}

Next, add an `assert(_debugCheckHasCipher(database))` before using the database. A suitable place is the
`setup` parameter to a `NativeDatabase`:

```dart
NativeDatabase(
File(...),
setup: (rawDb) {
assert(_debugCheckHasCipher());
rawDb.execute("PRAGMA key = 'passphrase';");
}
);
```
{% include "blocks/snippet" snippets = snippets name = "encrypted2" %}

If this check reveals that the encrypted variant is not available, please see [the documentation here](https:/simolus3/sqlite3.dart/tree/master/sqlcipher_flutter_libs#incompatibilities-with-sqlite3-on-ios-and-macos) for advice.
