Re: Encryption over Database Link

Not meaning to hassle you - not least because it sounds like you are tasked with making this work. Your requirements seem to boil down to.

1. please let me talk to a remote data source over the net.
2. make sure our comms are secure.
3. we have no way of knowing *they* are secure

Doesn't 3 break the business case for 1 and 2. What's the point of you securing your sql traffic to them, if they can just accept sql over the net anyway? . I suspect you (meaning your org) needs to do a business deal allowing for secure 2 way comms between you and them. Frankly the idea of connecting to a remote db that allowed just anyone to connect to it scares me silly.
