What exactly are you trying to do? If this is a C/C++ dll then you (probably) need to look at using the Java Native Interface[^].

You cannot encrypt folders at the application level, which is where Java apps run. This sort of activity has to be done at the driver/filter level.

Please read my previous answer. You cannot do this at the application level, you can only do it by adding a filter driver to the filesystem. And that can only be done in a native language such as C/C++ or Assembler.
