Oracle 7.1 + provides encrypting passwords during db logon.
You may have a look at Advanced Networking Option
(working with SQL*Net).
It provides for example transparent encryption of all traffic.
However, there are some export restrictions outside the USA
and Canada (key length).
I do not know, what about legal issues of using advanced
key-exchange systems like Kerberos in distributed systems.
ANO can use Kerberos, DCE, and so on.
