Blowfish or DES should be fine for this sort of stuff. Take a look at these: http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/cryptlib.html http://www.virtualunlimited.com/products/beecrypt/

how critical is your data? why not use the XOR encryption ? though its simple, its very hard to break with a PC.
This is NOT a good idea. XOR is relatively trivial to crack - AFAIK the only way to make it secure is to make the pass phrase as long as the data to be encrypted. In fact, if you encrypt binary data with a short password, any string of zeros in the data will encrypt as the password and make it visible for all the world to see!
