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?

Encryption is usually implemented in the server or client code. Why do you want the database to handle encryption?

It is for as desktop app that stores data on a user drive.

Then the application should encrypt the data saved to the db.

I can't think of any scenario where it would make sense for the db to handle encryption.

Encryping by the application would kill the use of a lot of sql features such as SUM.
