If you can restore it, anyone can. So there is theoretically no secure way.
You can scramble it by applying some encodings to it serially:

s = str(int("Hello, world!".encode("rot13").encode("zlib").encode("uu").encode("rot13").encode("hex"), 16))
hex(int(s))[2:-1].decode('hex').encode('rot13').decode("uu").decode("zlib").decode("rot13")

However, it is not secure, especially not now that its on usenet ;-)
