Can Oracle encrypt fields in a table?

        Can Oracle 7.3.4 or a PACKAGE somewhere encrypt a field in a database.  I know the Oracle system encrypts users passwords when loggin in, but if we wanted to store sensitive info (like credit cards) in a table, can Oracle encrypt it?  Or would I need to pass the string through some external component first to encrypt, then place that value in the database?  If so, any recommendations?



Thanks,


Sean Dolan
