See the contrib/pgcrypto module. It has functions like digest()
for making SHA1, MD5, and other digests; hmac() for making Hashed
Message Authentication Codes; and encrypt()/encrypt_iv() and
decrypt()/decrypt_iv() for doing encryption and decryption. Since
8.1 pgcrypto also has functions for doing OpenPGP symmetric and
public-key encryption.
