Is there a way to encrypt a data field in Oracle (ver. 7.2.3)? It is running on UNIX for now, but we will run similar applications on NT soon so if I use an external utility, it has to be something that runs on both platforms.

I called Oracle but they didn't know... still, there has to be something I can do. The application is one that has usernames and passwords stored in a table. It is the password field I need to encrypt.

Any ideas will be *greatly* appreciated.
