Does anyone know how to apply a digital signature to a database record?

You mean giving a record a unique identifier? Use a sequence (in this example for <col_id>):
create sequence <seq_name> increment by 1 start with 1;
when you insert:
insert into <table_name> (<col1>,...,<col_id>)
values (val1,...,<seq_name>.nextval)
)
If you need to reference the just by nextval created value use <seq_name>.currval.

I need to provide more info. The requirement I have is to apply a PKI digital signature to a complete table row for non-repudiation of that record.
