I believe the data will be readable.  It should be easy enough to test by 
exporting one table which uses encryption, importing it, then querying it via a 
code path that works on the existing system (any query that provides the 
encryption key).

Subject: DB move (with encrypted Data) to new Server ......

I need to move a database from one server to another server (different 
platform). So, I am using expdp/impdp instead of RMAN. The existing database 
has lots of encrypted columns (created using DBMS_CRYPTO package).

OLD Server: Linux 5, Oracle 11.2.0.3, ASM
New Server: Linux 6, Oracle 11.2.0.4, ACFS

Will they be readable on the new platform after the move?  Do I compulsorily 
need to decrypt before expdp/impdp? Appreciate any help.
