Hello,
I have an assignment that i don't know where to begin. Hope you can give me some direction.
I'm running Oracle 10g. I'm using DBMS_CRYPTO.ENCRYPT to do some encryption in my own function. My encryption key is stored (hardcoded) within my function. My client doesn't like it for obvious reasons and asked me if this key could be stored in a "certificate database" whatever this term means. I think I need to have a security certificate which will give me access to my key. I don't know if Oracle has this kind of capability and I'm not sure where to look to learn about it. If you can give me some help here I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
