## AI overview

A practical guide to operating encrypted SQLite databases securely in production. It covers secure key generation and storage, Turso key encoding differences, migration and rotation constraints, and compliance considerations.

## Source excerpt

Where to store keys, how to rotate them, how to migrate from SQLCipher or unencrypted SQLite, and what SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS auditors actually want to see.
