pax-anonimi-db is a layer on top of SQLite that allows to store data as fully encrypted incremental database operations in independent files.
It allows you to use SQLite in projects that require a database that can be readily synced, end-to-end encrypted, between different clients on file systems that do not support file modifications (such as Amazon S3).
It was developed for the [TBD] app to provide a safe, end-to-end encrypted way for users to sync their data to the cloud.
When you create a pax-anonimi database, an SQLite database is created. Every create/alter/insert/update operation generates a file with information about the operation. These files are called animis and will never change again.
When you want to replicate a pax-anonimi database, simply load every animi in chronological order and your 2 databases are synced! Any changes to the database will create new animis that need to by synced back to every pax-anonimi database.
A pax-anonimi database is protected with a secret key. You must specify this key when creating a new database and loading animis.
Once all animis have been loaded, you should keep a copy of the generated SQLite database for faster loading. However, this database should remain on the user's machine because it is not encrypted.
