I've recently changed a bunch of entries as I kept important information in notes, but learned this wasn't secure so I've put the information in string fields instead.
To my question now, is entry history encrypted when the DB is open like passwords and string fields, or is it readable in memory like notes are? In case it's unencrypted, I'd need to delete entry history too.
Also, is there a way to make attachments encrypted in memory until they're opened, or would I need to encrypt the files myself?
Best Regards.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
A history entry is exactly the same as a normal entry but kept in a History node. Fields are treated the same whether they are in History or not.
Why are you so paranoid about the memory being read? If your machine is that badly compromised your data is already gone.
Keep the database locked when not in use and your data cannot be read.
cheers, Paul
