Goal
In order to encrypt column data, Oracle uses a table encryption key which is unique for each table of the database. All the table encryption keys are encrypted using a master key and stored within the data dictionary. The master key is kept in a container outside of the database which can be either a file ( a PKCS#12 wallet ) or a Hardware Security Module (HSM) . To keep the system secure, one has to regenerate the master key periodically.
