It is not implemented. In 7.1 you'll find crypto hashes (MD5,
SHA1, ...) in contrib/pgcrypto and also I am thinking about doing a
crypt(3) like thing too, but no block ciphers.
Could you describe what would you do with it? At the moment it
is not implemented, because e.g. I am not aware even anyone
asking before, and myself also does not need it. Maybe you are
better off doing that in application level? If you have good
use for it I guess it can be looked into...
