Secure the database

If someone gets complete access to your database, you're pretty much hosed. Any encryption method that allows decryption can eventually be cracked by someone with enough time and determination. That's probably a lot easier than getting into the database through all that security, anyway.

The best practice is to really not store the entire number at all.
