For my purposes, I used a key stored in the web.xml. This was suitable for my purposes — obfuscating cookies.

If you want to do it properly and only store the key in memory, there is a solution. Check out Web PBE Configuration. That sets up a Filter which prompts for a password if the webapp is unconfigured.

If it’s not a webapp you’re writing, you could just prompt for a password on app startup.
