It does support more than DES, but does not support RSA. Any reason why this is the encryption scheme that you must use? Personally, I could care less how the data is encrypted so long as it is secure. Triple DES should do that nicely.

The DBMS_CRYPTO package in Oracle 10g does offer more encryption options than what is previously available. You will need to upgrade though. Here is more information on DBMS_CRYPTO:
