Take a look at my article on encryption on Oracle.
It can be found at www.cybcon.com/~jkstill/util
It has some solutions ( such as RC4 ) that can
be implemented on Oracle 7.
There's also a Blowfish implementation there courtesy
of Craig Munday.
Keep one thing in mind: encryption via PL/SQL is not very
fast. Upgrade to Oracle 8 if possible and you will be much
better off, as you can then use DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT,
or other external encryption libraries.
