The Firefox 3.5 fiasco - Frans Bouma's blog
Version 3.5 of Firefox has slow startup time for some people, because it attempts to read large quantities of files from temp directories as a potential source of entropy for its secure random number generator. But that's not a good choice for several reasons.

Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux
Main Features:
* Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
* Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
* Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
* Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
* Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
Further information regarding features of the software may be found in the documentation.

Java Simplified Encryption
Jasypt is a java library which allows the developer to add basic encryption capabilities to his/her projects with minimum effort, and without the need of having deep knowledge on how cryptography works.
* High-security, standards-based encryption techniques, both for unidirectional and bidirectional encryption. Encrypt passwords, texts, numbers, binaries...
* Transparent integration with Hibernate.
* Suitable for integration into Spring-based applications and also transparently integrable with ACEGI (Spring Security).
* Integrated capabilities for encrypting the configuration of applications (i.e. datasources).
* Open API for use with any JCE provider.
* ...and much more
