It depends on how secure you're trying to make it. If you're just trying to avoid casual passersby from getting to it, you could use encrypt() and decrypt() with a seed to make it so it's not just readable directly from the DB. Not sure if that helps.

Certainly I want to encrypt them. I asked them if they could install either pgp8 or gnuPG. And they said they wouldnt install either. So, I asked them what they would recomend and they said not to encrypt them! :-0!!! Does anybody have any recomendations?
