Hello Alexey,
I have written something based on your code.
Actually, I wrote an ant task to create the key first.
I wanted to create filters (pluggable into filterchains) to encrypt and
decrypt, but I do not get that to work.
I might do an ant task to encrypt and a sort of loadproperties clone

Where are you going to store the passwords to decrypt the passwords
read from properties files? --DD
I keep my password properties out of SCM, in a bit of the filesystem
that is NT
And if you can keep the keystore secret and protected, couldn't you keep
the password secret and protected?

The classic response to the classic topic: if you can protect the
decryption key adequately, why not simply protect the password adequately?
Using encryption to enhance data security isn't a simple matter of
"turning it on" - you have to consider these sorts of issues or all
you'll be doing is

This can be done by requiring a key store in user home. Only people that
have some special certificates, can encrypt/decrypt date (SSH style
security). The decryption can be easily done with . This is a
corresponding Java code:
SecretKeySpec skeySpec=new SecretKeySpec(readAll("key"), "A

Hello Jeffrey,
we would be interested in encrypting.
do you have any suggestions ?

Encrypt or encode?
If you just need them to not be in clear-text
you could always use a simple encoding: rot13, base64, etc.; depends on
how strong your requirements are.
