Hey Bruce -
If you're using oracle 8.1.5 or later, you can use the encryption tools
that it provides..
Have a look at the DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT package. It has DESEncrypt
and DESDecrypt procedures. It performs a 56 bit encryption, which should
be good enough for what you're doing..
Theres also some code for a stored proc at
http://www.oracle.com/oramag/code/index.html?cod11226.html its a bit
older, but still applies.
Hope that helps :)
