The getEncoded() method gets you a byte array, which you can then convert to a string in hexadecimal representation (or, if you want to get cleverer about it, have a set 256 words you can use to represent each byte!) Similar idea on the way back. Once you convert it back to a byte array there should be a constructor you can pass it to.

The easiest way to share the key between Java programs is to generate the key in keytool and share the keystore file.
