Securing sensitive data in Oracle doesn't have to require a decoder ring, despite the acronym-heavy landscape. Discover how the DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT offers industrial-strength protection that—once mastered—is surprisingly easy to implement for your own applications.
"To secure sensitive data, Oracle provides developers with the DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT, an industrial strength version of the DBMS_RANDOM package. You may feel the need of a decoder just to keep track of all the acronyms and to decrypt the errors in Oracle's sample code, but once you see how easy it is to use, you'll be able to take Oracle's code example and modify it for your own use." writes Steve Callan in an article for DatabaseJournal.com.
