The last time we discussed this, the main obstacle was that I really didn't want to bundle an entire encryption package with Freenet, when we would only be using a small fraction of its functionality (Cryptix was suggested on several occasions). I would much rather use some code which did what we needed it to do, no more, and no less (much like the SHA1 class which is used by Freenet already - its small, neat, and does what we need and no more). I think we should choose an encryption mechanism, and then find or write some simple java code which does it. We will obviously do this in such a manner that the encryption mechanism can be upgraded in future, but for the moment we will stick with one.
