In commercial or copyright cases it's not so easy to find a nice and
easy solution.
But, in time of highly sophisticated encrytion is a slight
fase shifting of characters enough to saveguard your text with a
small key. Everybody expects very long key's so a KISS solution
will help again in these days.
Idea: Maybe Huffman encoding/compression with a key for decyphering.
