We are using the dbms_obfuscation toolkit to encrypt sensitive data per VISA's requirements. =20 Has anyone gone through the VISA audit before? They are not clear on their expectations for encryption... I've found next to no info on key management - our plan is store the key in the database and also in pvcs with access limited to the dba team. Any advice or experience to share would be appreciated...
