But of course.

See the "pgcrypto" contrib module in the source tree.

It is not typically compiled into what gets distributed with the
typical Linux/BSD distribution because of the library dependencies
that it forces in, as well as because the legalities surrounding the
distribution of cryptographic software vary from country to country,
making it potentially legally unsafe to ubiquitously include it.
