Because the algorithm is known, it is no longer a trade secret. 

  --> why not change the algorithm slightly? :)

you can say your using a custom symmetric RC4 based algorithm. one of
the problems with using RC4 based on the url's above is the fact that
it is using a "known" algorithm, just modify it slightly :)

or, why not use blowfish or so?
