SQLite alternative with encryption (lemmy.ml)

I am searching for an SQL lite alternative that implements encryption more or less or of the box and has rust bindings. Do you know of any database systems that fulfill that requirement?

The application encrypts the data, you save in the database the data encrypted. When you retrieve the info, the app decrypt it.

This makes it impossible to support any analytical SQL queries against the DB. Look into how to enable encryption at rest on whichever DB you choose.

So put an SQLite database on a Luks-encrypted partition or a Luks-encrypted filesystem in a file.
