title: How to encrypt a database coloumn in visual studio 2010 c#
body: <p>Hi Guys i have a  oracle database connected to my website which i have created in visual studio 2010 using c# language. I have a table which has users passwords saved in the table. </p>
  
  <p>When I input the password into the table it can be seen (which I do not want). I want it to be encrypted to ensure that password cannot be seen once entered into the database. Any help would be grateful.
   My user table looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Create TABLE users (
    user_id number(5) NOT NULL , 
    user_username VARCHAR(30), 
    user_password VARCHAR(20), 
    user_email VARCHAR(75), 
    user_street VARCHAR(50), 
    user_city VARCHAR(50), 
    user_state VARCHAR(2), 
    user_postcode VARCHAR(20), 
    user_phone VARCHAR(50),  
    PRIMARY KEY (user_id) 
  ) ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
