Quick follow up. I went ahead and created the patch to enable a "keyPassword" to be specified. In the patch, the key password will only be used to retrieve a private key during the unmarshal action.
For example: <unmarshal> <secureXML secureTag="//cheese:cheesesites/italy" secureTagContents="true" xmlCipherAlgorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes128-cbc" keyCipherAlgorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#rsa-1_5" recipientKeyAlias="recipient" keyOrTrustStoreParametersId="keyStoreParams" keyPassword="keyPassword"/> </unmarshal> I'm not sure if the patch will be accepted straight away, but feel free to give it a try and provide comments as useful.
