Oracle Data Source Question

Can anyone tell me if the communication between a ColdFusion oracle data source and the Oracle database itself is encrypted or clear text by default?  I'm assuming it is clear text unless other features, such as Oracle Advanced Security, have been implemented. 

If it is data transmission is clear text, are the data source user name and password passed in clear text as well?

I dunno about the authentication info, but I'd say the rest of it would be clear text.

It might pay to have a look at the JDBC spec, or the docs for the driver you're using.  That'll have the relevant info.
