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?

I've been trying to research this on Technet but having difficulty
correlating functionality with cost.
My boss wants the answer today so I thought I'd throw it out to the crowd.

Thanks in advance,
