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?

Use an encryption library to decrypt the database in memory and encrypt it prior to writing it to disk. Assuming that you are not afraid of data loss due to power loss; that would be the most secure option and it works with the standard SQLite library

Or if you need more fault tolerance. The SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE) will read and write database files encrypted using 128-bit or 256-bit AES.
