You should take a look on DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT. It uses DES (in 9i Triple DES) to encrypt or decrypt data in database. Using of this utility was mentioned here in newsgroup many times in past. Look in archives of this NG for more exhaustive information.

Note: pagesflames_at_usa.net has been cancelled due to changes (maybe we
can call it an overture to bankruptcy) on that server. I'm still using
this email to prevent SPAM. Maybe one day I will change it and have a
proper mail even for news, but right now I can be reached by this
email.
