Indeed, there are plenty of network encryption options, but as far as Oracle network traffic encryption, ASO is the way to do it.
<shameless Tom Kyte paraphrase> Regarding DBMS_CRYPTO vs TDE, if you're running EE, the license cost is *probably* lower than the cost of learning the ropes of DBMS_CRYPTO, building packages to encrypt/decrypt data, and updating your applications to use the encryption/decryption logic. If you're running SE and have a small, focused encryption project, then DMBS_CRYPTO works quite nicely.</shameless Tom Kyte paraphrase>

Or you could go ssh tunneling. Look at http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm and search for SSH to get to some interesting papers.
