crypting data in an oracle database

My problem:


I would like to crypted data in an oracle database. e.g. password



My question:


Is it possible to use the STANDARD crypt mechanism oracle uses by itself to
hide the password of the users in the database ? e.g. if you query the view
dba_uses you will get the passwords in crypted format.
Does anyone of you knows what sort of crypt algorithm ORACLE uses ?



P.S. I don't want to use the translate function ;-)



Thanx


Walter
