Encryption routine in PL/SQL

Hi,

I've got to write a security subsystem for an Oracle application I'm developing in Forms 4.5. Oracle's security requirements are not stringent enough as regards things such as password expiry and reuse. So we have to build this ourselves.

The only thing I'm struggling with is the concept that all our passwords MUST be only held in encrypted form in our own password table. So we need a reliable encrpytion routine that we can call when supplied with the user's unencrypted password. Does anyone know of such a thing that I can graft into my form?

Many thanks, Jon. Received on Fri Jul 18 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
