After spending some time previously in two jobs writing some odd job classes to do some secret key checksum matching - amounting to approximately 50-100 lines of code in each case, I'm very pleased to see someone has released a project called keyczar that extremely simplifies doing cryptography in java and python code. Here's a link to the keyczar page on code.google.com.
Unfortunately, I couldn't readily test out the library myself to really gauge its effectiveness since the only .jar they distribute contains .class files that were compiled with target compatability of 1.6... and I just happen to be running Mac OSX 10.4 which only has a 1.5 jdk/jre.

The lack of Java 1.6 support for OS X 1.4 is annoying. I'll see if I can build a Java 1.5-compatible jar, although I think we may use some 1.6 language features.
Have you tried building the source code?
