Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Antwort: Help !! Password Encryption/decryption ??
Hi Prem,
If you want to use des to encrypt and decrypt you have to pad the data to multiples of 8 byte ( i.e. fill the missing bytes with zero). IMHO using symetric encryption to protect passwds is dangerous

Hello everybody ,
I am on 8.1.6/NT .
i need to encrypt / decrypt the password of my users for my web based
application.
I went thro' DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESEncrypt and
DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESDecrypt methods .
but as per the docs , this package requires the password ( which is to
be encrypted ) to be
in multiples of 8 bytes . i don't think this is possible always .
have i understood anything wrong ? can anyone throw some light on this ...
how do u guys encounter this situation ? any likely scripts plz ?!!!
TIA.
Jp.
