James suggests:

" Write a block cipher that enciphers 0, 1, ..., n.  Pick a random key.
 Encipher 0, 1, ..., n.

You need not devise a new cipher; just use Hasty Pudding. From

" The arbitrary block size means that anything can be encrypted without
expansion. Arbitrary sets, such as dates, or the printable subset of ascii,
or the 20-bit primes, can be encrypted to themselves.
