Can we use DPAPI from Java?

In my previous post, we discussed on how DPAPI makes it simple to encrypt sensitive information without worrying about key generation and management.

I wondered if there was a Java API though which we can use DPAPI on windows machines. Found out that there is an open source JNI wrapper available for the same.

Also worth reading is this excellent post on encryption key management.
