To answer my own question: buried down inside <sqlite3.h> I found the following flags that appear to have been added by Apple. There's no documentation of them, but I infer that you can OR them in with the other flags to sqlite3_open_v2 and get the corresponding level of file encryption. Presumably since this is managed internally by sqlite it will be applied to the temp/side files as well as the main database.
