RE: DB2 Field Encryption

Do you need ever get back the unencrypted value? Something like a
password you don't need the plaintext again, you just need to encrypt
the password they supply and compare to the original encrypted value.

Either way, check Scott's page:

Subject: DB2 Field Encryption

Can anybody recommend a method for encrypting a field in DB2?  We do not
want users to be able to view this field through query or by any other
means
unless we specifically allow them.

Currently, the field is numeric but can be converted to alpha if the
encryption method requires it.

Thanks for your help.
