connect to any database file, if this one is
transported on a second machine on which you
have SYSDBA privileges.

encryption", and does not allow a native secure
secure socket connection (you could use a third
part tool to make a secure connection tunnel).
At this time, user authentication is on per-server
bases, so it is not related on a single database
file.
To enforce "enclosure" of user's data you have to
implement by hands a "security layer". If this is
your case, you can encrypt what you need on client
side and store the result on the database.
Example: if you need to keep confidential text into
the database, you can encript on client side (using
a client-side tool) and save it on a (binary) blob
field.
