Hashing data via DBMS_CRYPTO

GJoobSep 15 2016 — edited Sep 16 2016

Hi,

I am looking to store passwords in a table using hash and salt technique.

My security officer has stated that ideally this should salt using 32 - 64 byte random value, then hash with SHA-256 and stretch with PBKDF2.

None of that means anything to me so I am wondering if anyone knows if this can be done using DBMS_CRYPTO?

Also, I presume the hash column would then be stored as RAW in table?

Many Thanks.
