You can use Oracle native network encryption (part of Entreprise Edition).
You have to configure your sqlnet.ora files in both side for this.

Thank you for replying.

I have searched through the Oracle documentation and found a lot of information but not a lot to help me set it up a quick test - is this possible?

Do you know where I can find a simple step by step guide or even an example.

Very good information Michel. Thanks. I just read it, and indeed you have elaborated it quite well.

P.S. : I found few typo errors, for example, in the introduction part, spelling of "licencied" is incorrect. Do you mind if I edit the wiki if I find such typos?

Regards,
Lalit

I didn't write this sentence, it is an update made by another one (see history: 13:04, 29 January 2014‎).
Yes, you can update it, this is a OraFAQ wiki not my blog.
Wiki administrators check the updates to verify they are pertinent (you can't imagine the number of persons adding spam or gibberish into the pages).

Are you sure you did it? I don't see the modification.
Note when you save the page you first see a preview and have to confirm it gibing the code at the bottom.
