I am not a security guru, but I do not think that SQL*Net 1.x or 2.x
offers any encryption out of the box. For Oracle7, there is the "Trusted
Oracle" option (see
http://www.oracle.com/database/trusted/html/chapter1.html) and for
Oracle8, their networking software "Net8" DOES have encryption out of the
box.
