We are shooting for an early access release of JCE1.2
in the week of Jan 5.

JCE1.2 provides a class "SealedObject", which allows you to
"seal" (encrypt) the serialized contents of an object in order
to protect its confidentiality.
You can pass around a SealedObject (e.g., over RMI) without
worrying about its contents being disclosed to unauthorized
parties.
