Cant you just use any encryption library at all? Your basic code would be

Object o=...;
String s= new String();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(StringStream(s));
out.writeObject(o);

And then you just pass s into any encryption system you want.

Edit: I forgot that StringStream is a C++ thing, not a Java one. But you can basically do the same thing, take a look here.
