Storing string(key) securely in a file

Hi,

I have a scenario where i have to store a string (key) in a file securely, and retrive it for creating message digest.
I tried importing the string into a KeyStore. But KeyStore can only store Key objects, and i dont know any way to store String in KeyStore.
Please suggest if there any way to store String in KeyStore or any alternate methods to store String securely in a file.

Thanks
