Hi All,

i need to store encrypted data(social security or PAN) in database table for security purpose so i tried the following command

CREATE  TABLE customer(
    cust_id      NUMBER,
    cust_name    VARCHAR2(100),
    so_securityno   VARCHAR2(30) encrypt,
    cust_phone   NUMBER encrypt,
    cust_pan VARCHAR2(20) encrypt
  );
but got error - ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Transparent Data Encryption

You are trying to use Transparent Data Encryption, which needs to be separately licensed option on top of Enterprise Edition. It also requires some configuration: you need to create a wallet to store the keys. Have you done all that?

... In addition, once the wallet is opened the data are visible to everyone who has access to the table.
TDE only protects against disk or backup thief not against database intruders.

You have to first define what you want to protect, against what/who and when.
You have to then define who/what is allowed to see the data, how and when.
Only then you can define which strategy you may implement (which may not be encryption).

One way is to encrypt at application level... if this fits the other requirements and you can trust the application vendor/developers...
As I said there are many questions to answer.

So use DBMS_CRYPTO. To make the encryption and decryption transparent, cover the tables with views that will decrypt when you SELECT and have INSTEAD OF triggers to encrypt when you INSERT or UPDATE.

... but take care that when you use it the encryption algorithm and key are visible in the SGA (so to the DBA and then it depends against who you want to protect, back to my questions).

shawaj,

Would you share how you encrypt cust_phone, i.e. number, field?

Thanks.

You can use UTL_RAW to convert a NUMBER to a RAW then DBMS_CRYPTO to encrypt the NUMBER field (and possibly use UTL_RAW to convert the RAW value from DBMS_CRYPTO to a NUMBER).

Alas. Proposed way doesn't allow to insert encrypted data into number field.

Well, no - the column (please don't say "field" when you mean "column"!) has to be data type raw. What you probably need to do (as I suggested before) is cover the table with a view that does all the work.

Thanks. Solution, not based on DBMS_CRYPTO, to encrypt date, timestamp, number and bfile can be found on forum's marketplace.

So you are saying you hijacked this topic to spam for your product?

I suppose, Olexandr, it would have been better to make your product affiliation clear earlier.

Suggestion - you could redeem yourself! Create another Marketplace topic describing your product in greater detail. This comment on your websiteQuote:
Restrictions

There are no ways to store asymmetrically encrypted data in Oracle table data types like date, timestamp, float, number.
is interesting, you could explain a bit more about how you actually do this.

What I found inappropriate is that you introduced yourself in the topic asking how OP did it, ignored the answers that have been provided to you and claimed there is a solution in the Marketplace forum.
In short, you came masked to promote your product.
There won't be no problem if you just posted something like "a solution might be this product" with a link to your post in Marketplace forum.

And to add to John's post, you can give a short description in our Wiki Commercial products page and create a page in the Wiki describing in details your product. You can also create your user page.
