The Oracle docs on JDBC were not specific enough. Can anyone help with these questions?

---

1. What security is inherent or available in Oracle7 JDBC drivers (both JDBC Thin and JDBC OCI) communicating with an Oracle7 server? For example, are the connect/logon and data streams across the network encrypted?

2)If so, what kind in each JDBC configuration, e.g., DES 40-bit, RSA, Kerberos, etc.?

3) Do any of these encryption solutions depend on a client configuration file with a "seed" string? How susceptible is this seed to hacking?

Thanks in advance.
