In theory, any DISQLite3 application (like SQLiteSpy) can open encrypted
databases if the password is known. In practice, the AES encryption applied is
extremely strong so this is virtually impossible if the password is not know.
So the answer to your question is:
* Yes, if you do not spread your password.
* No, if you make your password publically available.
It is of course up to you to scramble the plain text password before you pass
it on to the DISQLite3's sqlite3_key() function. This way other applications
who are unaware of the scramble algorighm will not be able to user the same
plain text password.
