Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Encryption software
This may not be what you want but its simple.
On a unix box you can use the crypt command to encrypt a file to a key
cat file.name | crypt cipher_key > new_file.name
This creates a file called new_file.name that has been encrypted to the key cipher_key.
After you send the file to its destination you can then unencrypt it with the same key back to its original file
cat new_file.name | crypt cipher_key > file.name
This will unencrypt new_file.name into file.name using the encryption key cipher_key.
We use it to hide our Oracle passwords and I have tested it on binary files as well as text files. It does work.

Hi
We are looking for a product that can be used to encrypt an Oracle report.
In
short a process will run a report, the file will be encrypted, and sent by
email. And we would like to be able to use the product from command line so
that
the entire process can run automatically.
I have already looked at products from PGP but the only product that can be
used
with the command line option is PGP E-business server for about $7000. The
price
is way too high for the volume that we will have. I started to look at other
products and found a few....
Has anyone used an encryption product and can share experience, good and bad?
Thanks
Witold
