Hi,
My name is Richard and I would like to assist you with this question.
The SQLite Encryption Extension encrypts all of the data stored in a database, every byte including all headers. The encryption key is not stored anywhere. It has been suggested that the only way to get back the key is a brute force attack. As far as I know there are no existing tools to do this and even if there were it would take a really long time (depends on the key size).
Thank you,
Rich
