I was wondering if Oracle ever considered incorporating PGP into their
databases.
I don't know much about the different types of security (e.g. Kerberos
etc.), though, so maybe that idea doesn't make any sense.
: )
Is it not possible for people to write password encryption procedures in
8.1? You can write your own procedure to verify the complexity of
passwords, I am surprised they wouldn't let a site develop their own
password encryption scheme.

Hi,
you can always go with the UNIX crypt() function. That works pretty
well
;).
Things get more complicated if you want to be able to decrypt the
password again.
There is a clear distinction when it comes two one-way or two-way
encryption.
But usually, one-way does it. Actually, Oracle does the same.
