Thomas, it might help to read the release notes on the subject:

http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-security-encryption.html

Specifically:

"With Firebird 3 comes the ability to encrypt data stored in database.
Not all of the database file is encrypted: just data, index and blob
pages.

To make it possible to encrypt a database you need to obtain or write
a database crypt plug-in.

Note

The sample crypt plug-in in examples/dbcrypt does not perform real
encryption, it is merely a sample of how to go about it."
