Re: Is the ability to do field-level encryption free in Enterprise Edition?
From a money perspective - yes From a resource perspective - no, using the obfuscation toolkit does add lots of cpu to your processing (if you're handling lots of rows) hth connor --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are in the process of upgrading most of our databases to 8.1.7.1 (Enterprise Edition) on Sun Solaris 2.6.

Is the ability to do field-level encryption free in Enterprise Edition?
We are in the process of upgrading most of our databases to 8.1.7.1 (Enterprise Edition) on Sun Solaris 2.6. We need to be able to do field-level encryption of some of our data. I think that we should be able to do so with DBMS_OBFUSCATION. Is DBMS_OBFUSCATION free with 8.1.7.1 Enterprise Edition? Are there other standard methods/tools that we can use within Oracle to do this field-level encryption? If yes, are they free or part of an add-on bundle? If add-on, which add-on?

Check out my article on encryption at www.cybcon.com/~jkstill/util It covers DBMS_OBFUSCATION.
