RE: Encryption for Dummies?

Gary,
If you're on 7.1, check out "Field Procs". We are starting to look at how this new technique can be used to easily encrypt just one column in a master file. Check out IBM Developer Works at http://ibm.co/w0YVuQ.

Can you get by with the encryption offered by DB2 SQL ? The Reference manual has simple examples, look for ENCRYPT and DECRYPT

Subject: Encryption for Dummies?

It seems that I'm going to need to encrypt a piddling 24-byte "OAuth Consumer Secret" (one per installation, on the installation's hardware).
Can anybody point me to some sample code for calling the encryption/decryption APIs? I've now done HMAC-SHA1 signatures, with an API call, but not actual encryption/decryption.
