help about column-level security

Hi all,

    As we all know, VPD supplies us row-level security,then if not using view,is there any other way/mechenism supplying colomn-level security,through which I can permit some users can access only a few columns in a table but can not access other columns?

    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards.
