What do you mean, "with a proper algorithm"? Cryptographic algorithms are supposed to be secure *even when the methods used are known*. The only thing that has to be secret is the key.
Proper algorithm should mean "does not leave headers or footers". The cyphertext itself should be more or less random and unidentifiable. Siim Põder
