Hi,

In 10g, it is called DBMS_CRYPTO, where as in Oracle9i, it is 
DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.  The differences are:

=================================================        
=============================       ==========================
Package Feature                                          DBMS_CRYPTO            
             DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT
=================================================        
=============================       ==========================
Cryptographic pseudo-random number generator             RAW, NUMBER, 
BINARY_INTEGER         RAW, VARCHAR2
