Looking for a method to encrypt data within an Oracle database, hosted on a public net, and accessed by thousands

Sorry about the large cross post, my question seems (to
me) relevant to all groups with the possible exception of
sci.crypt. 



Anyway, I am looking for a method to encrypt columns
within an Oracle database, hosted on a public net, and
accessed by thousands with the purpose of protecting the
data from access by the sysadmin(s), server compromise,
and backup media compromise. 



Clients would be authenticated in some way and, via some
KEA, decypt/re-encrypt the columns for reading and
modification. 



Anybody want to share any ideas how to do this? My
preference is an existing product.
