@Mike - please go ahead. I have done some preliminary analysis but no patch yet. It is similar to what Ralph has suggested below but not based on input/output streams. My findings are that it is possible to use built in JCE supported algorithms such as PBEWithMD5AndDES but have not yet done a performance impact analysis.
