Implement Firebird encryption in less than 5 minutes

We have implemented 1-step installer to implement encryption to your Firebird (versions 5, 4, and 3).

Download installer script, run it, and it will find installed Firebird, install necessary files, and then perform encryption of test database and then create encrypted backup of the database.

After that, you will have ready-to-use Firebird instance to encrypt your own database, and then use examples applications to pass encryption keys from your application.

Then, you can use the script to deploy encryption to the production databases, or include it into your own installer.

Do you have implementation questions? Are you not sure how to check the performance impact from the encryption? How to get 1-step installer for Linux?
