No. I know that it is available in 8.1.6 too. I'm not sure about 8.1.5, but it wouldn't surprise me. Or it might have started at 8.1.6. Before you can use the DBMS_OBFUSCATION toolkit, you'll need to create the packages/procedures. This script is $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catobtk.sql which calls the dbmsobtk.sql and prvtobtk.sql scripts. I don't think that this is run automatically with catalog or catproc.
