Must say, the DBMS_OBFUCSICATION_TOOLKIT is actually quite fast. I would
highly agree with Jared's recommendation.
I have a few PL/SQL procedures I made that call this package to handle
encrypting passwords for logins and such and it works really well.

Take a look at my article on encryption on Oracle.
It can be found at www.cybcon.com/~jkstill/util
It has some solutions ( such as RC4 ) that can
be implemented on Oracle 7.
There's also a Blowfish implementation there courtesy
of Craig Munday.
Keep one thing in mind: encryption via PL/SQL is not very
fast. Upgrade to Oracle 8 if possible and you will be much
better off, as you can then use DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT,
or other external encryption libraries.

Hello fellow DBA's,
I am in a tough situation. I am trying to find an encryption solution for
Oracle 7.
I know that 8i has DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT, however we don't have 8i :(
We are still running 7.3.4 (OS limitations, DOS clients :(.
Anyway, did any of you ever have to implement DES or one-way encryption in
Oracle 7.x?
Anyone of these solutions would help (the problem is that we would like to
avoid encryption done in the application due to some limitations of the
development environment).
Thanks in advance for any help, links, directions...
Val Gamerman.
