You can roll your own using Java... I've never done it myself, but looks fairly simple from the looks of it.
http://www.aviransplace.com/2004/10/12/using-rsa-encryption-with-java/1/ Of course you can always pay me 10 grand and I'll do it for you :-P As far as whether you'll be losing anything with the custom tags, my guess is that the library provides multiple algorithm support, and is probably faster... If you only need RSA and you're not going to be doing high volumes, you're probably fine with the custom tags (assuming they're implemented correctly).
