comm code corner pt 3: at-rest encryption

on all clients (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, web) Comm implements at-rest encryption by using a fork of SQLite called SQLCipher

here's where we decrypt your database when the app starts:  https://github.com/CommE2E/comm/blob/cf1ca31fe9686263480551e447d3b6121d16da15/native/cpp/CommonCpp/DatabaseManagers/SQLiteQueryExecutor.cpp#L956

Implementing at-rest encryption using SQLCipher demonstrates Comm's commitment to ensuring data security across all platforms. Decrypting the database upon app startup adds an extra layer of protection, enhancing user privacy and confidentiality. Well done, Comm!
