I had an email from Paul Vallee to let me know of a good post on the pythian blog written by Grégory Guillou titled http://www.pythian.com/blogs/736/oracle-grid-control-the-importance-of-deleting-the-emkey - (broken link) Oracle Grid Control: The Importance of Deleting the emkey. The title doesnt shout out Oracle security but its clearly about this subject, my favourite subject. I was aware of this issue and have included the decrypt code in previous presentations but this is a really good article that covers the subject very well. Oracle also provides some documentation on http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/manage.1012/b16242/security2.htm - (broken link) enterprise manager security which is not bad and covers the commands used in more detail.
