Re: How to store encrypted values in Oracle database?

There is a (somewhat little known) Oracle Cryptography Toolkit that you can use to encrypt/decrypt data. To find out about it and create the packaged procedures look at and run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmsoctk.sql (or %ORACLE_HOME%/rdbms80/admin/dbmsoctk.sql if you are on NT).
