Hi All,

The easiest way to protect the key is to create a package owned by the data owner and create functions within the package to encode and decode the data. Ensure the encryption key is defined in the package body.

Grant execute privileges to the data entry schemas.

The view ALL_SOURCE will only show the package header and not the package body

This will not protect against rogue DBA's or network sniffing

HTH
