DBMS_CRYPTO is server-side only (encrypting data at rest). If you're looking to encrypt SQL*Net traffic, you're going to need Advanced Security, which IIRC costs 1/4 a license (and EE).

So if you encrypt, do you need de-cryption on the client side?

ciao,

DBMS_CRYPTO is free (included in your basic license), even in SE. As is almost always the case, Tim Hall has a great primer on the subject: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/database-security-enhancements-10g.php#dbms_crypto

HTH,
