Step 1. Decide a strong encryption/decryption algorithm. Both encryption and decryption must operate with the same key. Step 2. Create encryption procedures in PL/SQL to write/update data to a table. Step 3. Create decryption procedures in PL/SQL to read data to a table. Step 4. Now pass the data and encryption key to these procedures from your application or programming language. Although in this approach, data is accessible by any means, still can only used by the same application(Obviously only if encryption key is stored safely). You can also use different encryption keys for different tables. Happy coding :)
