OK. So a block data has moved from may still have the data if you had not encrypted the data at the time it was put there. What sensitive data is in the system tablespace?
I don't see how exp/imp would be faster than a move object. To move you will have to read and write and doing that with a little conversion as possible ought to be the fastest. To save downtime, maybe online redefinition of the table could be used?

Still what will you do about the fact that data can probably be restored on the disks where the files are now?
