Hi James. Have you checked out Keyczar? It has similar goals and Google has
been maintaining it for use in some Android libraries:
https://code.google.com/p/keyczar/
One main difference I see on quick inspection is that JACS uses InputStream
and OutputStream interfaces and derives keys from user-entered passwords.
Keyczar works on ByteBuffers, byte[], and String inputs, and handles key
versioning and rotation. Plus, it has been ported to Python and C++.
