The whole point of encryption is to hide sensitive data.
If you put clear text in the index blocks, anyone smart enough
to break into your database will probably figure out that dumping
the index blocks will reveal all.

I wouldn't worry about that ... unless you dump the index blocks, you
won't see that data anyway. OTOH, why don't you set your view to select
based on a PK and then apply the function on selected rows??

Wouldn't that store the sensitive data in the index?

Can you create a Function based index on that column? That could be of use
