Blowfish
A fast, compact, unpatented, public domain, block encryption method invented by Bruce Schneier. The algorithm allows for a variable length key up to 448 bits. It could be used in conjunction with a slower public key method. Blowfish keys are exchanged via public key method, then the bulk of the encryption is done via Blowfish. Open source for Blowfish is available in many languages, including Java.
